A study by Goldsmiths, University of London and cybersecurity company Symantec surveyed over 3,000 CISOs and senior cybersecurity decision makers across the UK, France and Germany and found that the mounting pressure faced by those responsible for protecting organisations against cyber threats is taking an increasing toll.

"[...] But it's possible a small percentage would be considering a career on the criminal side," Darren Thomson, EMEA CTO at Symantec told ZDNet.
"There's certainly money there, we know that, and it's essentially the same skillset: those people could turn into some of the scariest cybercriminals we've ever seen because we know they've been on the other side," he said, adding: "Even if it was one percent of that 63 percent, it'd worry me."

A new report has highlighted the problem of burnout in the cybersecurity industry, concluding that 30% of security team members experience “tremendous” stress at work.

Cybersecurity accreditation non-profit CREST, which produced the report (PDF), says it’s a growing problem in the industry.

“It was an issue that was being raised in a number of CREST’s technical workshops, and it was becoming apparent that it was an increasingly important issue for members and the wider industry,” psychotherapist David Slade, who authored the report, tells The Daily Swig.
A former legal advisor to the Senate Commerce Committee and counsel to the House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee, he says that stress and burnout are “perhaps the biggest threats to corporate security”.

Burnout is a health hazard in any high-stress workplace, especially in any industry where highly skilled professionals must tackle urgent demands at unpredictable intervals and where effective response is time-sensitive or even urgently needed.

Employee burnout is a security and business continuity issue. It directly impacts both an employee’s performance and the organization’s stability and resiliency.
In fast-paced environments, it can be difficult to tease out the symptoms of burnout under the best of times. And these are anything but the best of times.

The effects can place such employees at risk of burnout…and this is how attackers can get in.

Technology has played a key role in our society, especially during the pandemic, but little is understood about the engineers who build the software that powers the modern world. A new study¹ has found that 83% of software developers suffer from workplace burnout. The top reasons cited for burnout included high workload (47%), inefficient process (31%) alongside unclear goals and targets (29%).

Given the ever-greater role software plays in society and the high rate of concern developers have for software reliability in their workplaces, this raises serious concerns about the quality of software that plays an integral role in our everyday lives and critical national infrastructure.”
