Heidrick and Struggles released a global CISO survey last year, stating 53% of CISOs were most concerned about significant stress and 60% were concerned about burnout.
In Steve’s 20 years of software sales, significant stress and burnout have been longstanding issues that have yet to be effectively addressed and have negatively impacted his own life and those in the industry. There exists an opportunity to help cyber defenders protect themselves and their teams from these issues, enhancing both their jobs and personal lives. Join us as we discuss this critical issue as we navigate 2024 for better CISO and team health.
