Cyber Security Staff need to avoid Burnouts

Protecting organisations against being compromised by cyber criminals is a tough job for individuals who have been given this task because failing to complete the task properly could result in the organisation going out of business, or at least being affected adversely to the point where staff lose their jobs. The cyber security industry keeps on facing more and more challenges as criminals become more resourceful and skilled at managing their attempts to make financial gain through cybercrime. The recent challenges under the Covid-19 pandemic have also accelerated such crimes with many security staff being overwhelmed with the threats against employees working remotely from their homes and without hands-on assistance in dealing with cyberattacks. ZDNet has published reports on how “Working in cybersecurity can be challenging, but it’s important for information security professionals to maintain a healthy work/life balance – otherwise they risk burnout.”

Challenges of Complying with Cyber Security Policies

Very often, cyberattacks against organisations that have the technical resources in place to protect against such attacks are the result of an employee not complying with the organisation’s security rules.
