Chief information security officer (CISO) burnout has been a problem in the industry for the better part of the past decade, and it seems to only be getting worse. With cyberattacks on the rise, managing wider and more complex attack surfaces, and mounting pressure to do more with tighter budgets, it’s no wonder three in four CISOs in the U.S. report feeling burned out. CISOs today aren’t just juggling resources — they’re in dual CIO/CISO roles in an effort to streamline strategy and further cut costs. And when security breaches and ransomware attacks occur, CISOs often automatically shoulder the blame.
