Cybercrime is booming today, with hackers inventing more and more ways to make their presence felt and extract the data they want. As we all understand, to predict and deal with such attacks , cybersecurity teams are working frantically . Their work is continuous and organized, with the aim of reducing such incidents.
But what happens when decay occurs to these people?
Research has shown that nearly two-thirds of cybersecurity have considered quitting their jobs and retiring altogether at least once in their careers. This is because the subject inevitably creates a lot of stress and the exponentially increasing pressure leads to overwork. The question that now arises is, if all employees or even parts of them, who have considered leaving their teams, actually do so, then who will fill that void?
This may create a problem, because many do not have the cybersecurity expertise and there will be a need to train new people in the subject. On the other hand, no one can guarantee that the employees who will actually leave (or part of them) cannot use their knowledge for the opposite interest. Let's not forget that these are people who have the skills. If we also consider the financial benefit, these people could turn into some of the most terrifying cybercriminals we have ever seen, because they know exactly what is happening on the other side.
Equally worrying is the fact that even if employees do not leave as we believe, the existing teams fall short of the knowledge and experience required to address a constantly evolving risk
According to cybersecurity professionals, the knowledge that employees in these groups need to have is infinite and varied. Unfortunately, there is not enough time, as attacks increase and countermeasures tools proliferate. So, many times, employees will be called upon to resolve situations with knowledge they do not possess.
Inevitably we end up with tired people who cannot manage their stress and resort to the solution of giving up.
