Stress is revealing itself in data collected by ISC2, the membership organisation for cybersecurity professionals.
Its annual Workforce Study showed a 66% favourable job satisfaction rate in 2024, down four percentage points from the previous year.
Burnout is a “major issue” for the sector, ISC2’s chief information security officer Jon France says.
He says professionals in the industry are increasingly being asked “to do more with less” which only increases stress and job dissatisfaction.
“Cyber professionals rarely work nine to five”, he adds, “Even if they do, they remain on call because threat actors don’t adhere to office hours.”
