Burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged and excessive work-related stress. In cybersecurity, where professionals often face high-pressure environments, long hours, and constant vigilance against threats, burnout can be particularly prevalent. Symptoms include fatigue, reduced performance, cynicism, and a sense of detachment from work. Burnout not only affects individual well-being but can also compromise organizational security, as stressed employees may make mistakes or overlook critical threats. Recognizing and addressing burnout is essential for maintaining a healthy and effective cybersecurity workforce.
