CISO burnout is on the rise

Burnout is a real concern in the world of cyber security, with CISOs under incredible pressure to protect the organisations they work for from a growing number of threats.

To be an effective CISO, you have to be at your best, and this is why it’s time to prioritise your well-being.

This includes taking steps to combat burnout, such as exercising, eating well, drinking enough water and giving yourself the opportunity to take a break.

But it also means bringing in the support you need to take the right approach to cyber security for the business you work for and the specific risks and threats it faces.

The burnout challenge for CISOs

The responsibilities of a CISO are immense and the landscape against which they are tasked with protecting organisations is challenging and ever-changing.

From developing, implementing and enforcing security policies to reporting to the board and shareholders, this is a complex role that continues to evolve as the cyber world matures.

It should come as no surprise that this level of pressure and expectation, combined with the responsibilities of the position and the cost of making a mistake, means many CISOs are burned out.

A key factor in CISOs suffering burnout is the increasing pressure they are under to manage an emerging risk that senior leaders have yet to get their arms around.

But CISOs need buy-in from the top down and support from the entire business to fulfil the role effectively, especially in the event of a major cyber incident.

This is where CRMG comes in.
