Employee burnout poses severe cybersecurity risks, report finds

Employee burnout poses a significant security risk, according to a report from password manager vendor 1Password. The report found that burned-out employees are more likely to be lax about workplace security measures, create their own IT solutions, and disregard security policies. This is especially concerning as cybersecurity professionals themselves are reporting high levels of burnout. The report suggests that employee training alone is not enough to mitigate security threats and that organizations should prioritize addressing burnout in their cybersecurity strategies. Concerns about ransomware and phishing also remain prevalent among security professionals.
