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.

    That could work, if you had a large pool of these people to put on the on call list. Most companies do not. And only having every other weekend off is not living.

      Sounds like a management issue IMHO

      Maybe people should organize and deny these leaders cheap labour?

        100% but in general there are too few people that possess the skills for this work. So they are hard to find and expensive.
