'Cybersecurity work is stressful and an extremely nerve-wracking way to make a living. Alerts flagging potentially malicious attacks are constant and they have to be taken seriously because every defender reluctantly knows attacks will happen, it’s just a matter of when.' Look after your security team. Have the right leader in place. Have enough people in the team. Offer support and listen to concerns. For the good of your company. #futureofsecurity
