Recent research highlights that Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) are experiencing unprecedented stress levels, exacerbated by rising responsibilities in a challenging cybersecurity landscape. Despite a salary increase to an average of £87,205, many CISOs find it difficult to unwind due to the looming threat of cyber-attacks, with over half reporting stress impacting their sleep. Surveys reveal that 35% of UK CISOs experience regular stress and many are contemplating job changes. Experts warn that this stress affects security teams' effectiveness, potentially leading to a decline in overall cybersecurity readiness.
Stressed leaders and overwhelmed teams mean slower response times, greater vulnerability to cyber-attacks and ultimately, a weakened security posture.
The fear of suffering a cyber attack is cited by 39% as hurting their ability to relax at home.
