Bitdefender found that 70% of cybersecurity professionals often have to work weekends to address security concerns at their organization

Over 70% of cybersecurity professionals often have to work weekends to address security concerns at their organization, according to a new report by Bitdefender.

This intense workload appears to correlate strongly with job dissatisfaction, with around two-thirds (64%) of the 1200 cyber professionals surveyed stating that they are planning on looking for a new job in the next 12 months.

The issue of burnout and job dissatisfaction was particularly profound among UK respondents, with 81% often working weekends and 71% looking for a new job.

    You are one of these people that also thinks the utility companies sit on their ass while they are not performing a break-fix aren’t you?

    If anything security means ploughing through logs, checking up on monitoring alerts. And most importantly constant lobbying with the devs and deployment projects to actually take security serious… yes we know it is easier to deploy without ssl, single sign on, firewall, monitoring suite and not using our template but your own custom OS install etc… but this means everything is fucked if something happens and noone will be able to tell why. And No you cannot just deploy the database cluster in the DMZ so that it is easier to access.

        You are the one that said these people do 2-10 hours of work a week and I tried to tell you that there is so much more to the domain of security.

        So you kinda told us a lot about yourself with your denigrating remark.
