"In a new report shared with CFO Daily, ISACA-a global association for IT governance, security, risk, and audit professionals-surveyed more than 3,800 cybersecurity experts. Two-thirds said their roles are more stressful than five years ago, and 63% named the complexity of today's landscape as the top stressor. Nearly half (47%) cited high stress as the primary reason for attrition. The survey found that 43% of respondents believe an attack on their organization is likely in the next year,"
""Cybersecurity professionals are navigating an increasingly complex threat landscape, marked by the rapid evolution of threats and an increase in both the frequency and sophistication of attacks," Chris McGowan, ISACA principal for information security professional practices, said in a statement. McGowan noted an anticipated rise in cyberattacks next year would put even more pressure on cybersecurity teams, emphasizing the importance of regularly reviewing support systems and training to strengthen skills and resilience."
More than 3,800 cybersecurity experts were surveyed. Two-thirds reported roles are more stressful than five years ago, and 63% identified threat landscape complexity as the top stressor. High stress drives attrition for 47% of respondents. Forty-three percent expect an attack within a year while only 41% express confidence in their teams' incident-response capabilities. Thirty-nine percent believe cybercrime is underreported even when reporting is required. The most common attacks are social engineering (44%), exploited vulnerabilities (37%), and malware (36%). One-third reported an increase in incidents, and understaffing worsens stress. Regular support, training, and well-being prioritization are emphasized.
