CISO pressures are on the rise - board expectations, executive alignment, AI, and personal liability - and that's all on top of your normal security pressures. With all these pressures, CISO burnout is on the rise. How do we detect it and help prevent it? Easier said than done. In this Say Easy, Do Hard segment, we tackle the health and wellness of the CISO.
In part 1, we discuss the increased pressures CISOs face. We all know them, but how are they impacting our daily lives, both at work and at home. In part 2, we discuss detection and prevention techniques to help avoid burnout, including:
- Detecting the signs of stress
- Acknowledging there is a problem
- Asking for help
- Techniques to deal with stress
- Industry and community support
This is a serious problem in our industry and one we want to continue to focus on as we head into another stressful 2026.
