70% of Cybersecurity Pros Often Work Weekends (www.infosecurity-magazine.com)

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.

And ~100% of cybersecurity pros work ad hoc 100% of the time...

They probably put in 2-10 hours of actual work in a given week. Just like any desk job that doesn't sit on zoom calls all day.

Edit: 100% of people downvoting this should first Google "ad hoc." Or are just envious that I have a cybersec job making good money doing nothing all day. Sucks to suck. 🤷‍♂️

Kinda how ~100% of IT salaried positions work. If you're confused, you're probably hourly.

If your cybersecurity and/or SecOps team isn’t working 40 hrs a week, you’re either WAY over staffed or you’re missing out on a lot of proactive security work. Ours has a massive backlog of tickets and is working proactively on protecting and preventing incursions and security incidents.

Lol he's got 5 people for 700 users. Way overstaffed. Or well-staffed at a minimum.

700 users is a business group in my world.
