Cybersecurity is a demanding profession that comes with significant stress and burnout — it presents a complex problem for many businesses, with constantly evolving threats, ambiguous issues, and no clear-cut solutions. Security professionals bear a great deal of responsibility and are subject to long hours of work and high pressure in an unpredictable and constantly shifting landscape. Many security teams are understaffed, overburdened, and lack resources, which can compound stress levels, while the need to meet deadlines, remain informed of the latest security risks, and manage intricate security systems and incident reporting can contribute to burnout.
