New research by ISACA has found that over a third (39%) of European IT and cybersecurity professionals report that their organisation is experiencing more cybersecurity attacks than this time last year. Yet despite this rising wave of attacks, confidence in organisational readiness remains low, with only 38% of professionals stating they are completely confident in their organisation’s ability to detect and respond effectively. As attacks continue to increase in scale and scope, the pressure on...

Cybersecurity has a wellbeing problem. One that we, at The IT Security Guru, won't stop shouting about. We've all seen the stats: burnout runs rife throughout cybersecurity, there's a retention issue, and a sizable skills gap.  This, on top of the fact that threats are becoming more frequent in volume and more complex in make-up, creates the perfect storm for poor mental health outcomes among professionals to arise. A distracted or overwhelmed mind is more...

Cybersecurity has a burnout problem. This is not new (or surprising) news per se, but we, as an industry, are certainly getting better at talking about it. The first step, they say, is admitting that there’s a problem. The next? Examine the scope and impact of the problem before thinking about how to solve it. Such were the key themes of a panel discussion, Combatting Burnout to Protect Both Your Data & Your Ethics, led...
