Cyber Security Professionals Shortage, Burnout & How To Protect Against It Razorwire Cyber Security

Welcome to another episode of Razorwire Podcast! 
In this episode, our guests are Oliver Rochford of Securonix, who you've met in earlier episodes, and Stefania Chaplain, a solutions architect, discussing the skills shortage, burnout in cyber careers, and remote working.
 Cybersecurity offers both rewards and challenges simultaneously. Security providers in their early careers struggle to find work, while recruiters struggle to find the proper role and qualification for their security needs as cybersecurity is a multifaceted field.
 We discussed how underappreciation of information security professionals leads to burnout and mental exhaustion. We asked our guests what they've done to avoid burnout in their careers during our interview. We discuss how working from home has allowed us to spend time with our families, but that permanent remote working has created a distance between our colleagues and us.
 
This episode is relevant to those new to the infosec field or who have been in it for a long time. Take a listen to this episode and enjoy it. Listen to this episode on your favourite podcasting platform.
