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.

If your cybersecurity and/or SecOps team isn’t working 40 hrs a week, you’re either WAY over staffed or you’re missing out on a lot of proactive security work. Ours has a massive backlog of tickets and is working proactively on protecting and preventing incursions and security incidents.

Lol he's got 5 people for 700 users. Way overstaffed.

700 users is a business group in my world.

No, SOAR tools make life pretty easy. 5 person SOC team + boss, 700 person org. Not overstaffed.

I get a few alerts every few hours. Investigate, determine if false positive, and go back to gaming. Unless it's the off chance it's not a false positive. Then I do an hour of work or so. Then back to gaming.
