Burnout in cybersecurity leadership: Symptoms we don’t talk about

Burnout in cybersecurity leadership is real, and it often goes unspoken.

In this first part of our two-part series on burnout, former Axonius Field CISO Liz Morton discusses the personal symptoms that many cybersecurity leaders experience but rarely acknowledge: exhaustion, detachment, and reduced effectiveness.

Liz pulls from her own experiences to explore:

• The early warning signs of burnout 

• Why “always-on” culture accelerates exhaustion

• How cynicism and detachment can quietly take hold

Watch part 2, where Liz digs into practical strategies to beat burnout.
