Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) are under unprecedented stress due to escalating threats and unclear accountability. A Proofpoint survey reveals that 76% of CISOs believe they may experience a significant cyberattack within the upcoming year. This pressure results in constant fatigue as they protect critical infrastructure across various industries while managing complex compliance requirements and limited resources.
Burnout manifests in cognitive fatigue, reactive leadership, and turnover, leading to operational vulnerabilities. To mitigate this crisis, organizations must recognize the need for aligning authority with accountability, embedding security responsibility across functions, and fostering a culture of acknowledgment and support. Implementing structured incident response measures and encouraging work-life balance are vital steps to reduce burnout among CISOs, ultimately leading to a more resilient cybersecurity posture for the organization.
