Cybersecurity teams are understaffed, overworked, and underfunded - and it's taking a massive toll on mental health

Chris Dimitriadis stated, "In an increasingly complex threat landscape, it is vital that, as an industry, we overcome these hurdles of underfunding and under-staffed teams. Without strong, skilled teams, the security resilience of whole ecosystems is at risk - leaving critical infrastructure vulnerable."

The ISACA report highlights that 61% of cybersecurity teams are feeling the pressure of staff shortages, with nearly half facing difficulties in filling open positions requiring experience.

Almost half (41%) of cybersecurity professionals observed a rise in cyber attacks over the past year, while more than half (58%) expect attacks within the next 12 months.

The persistent problem of underfunded and understaffed security teams contributes significantly to the increasing vulnerability of organizations to cyber threats, with many professionals calling for urgent reform.
