CISO Speaks: Resilience And Avoiding Burnout
IT Security Guru, Monday, June 26,2023
Kevin Fielder, CISO of NatWest Boxed and Mettle by NatWest, shares his thoughts on resilience and avoiding burnout.
We talk a lot in security about 'burnout'. But we spend a lot less time talking about how to build resilient humans to minimise the risk of burnout.
This feels like we have fallen into the same trap with western medicine. Lots of treatment, often lots of expensive treatments. Little focus on making people into healthy, strong, active humans (physically and mentally).
We'll leave a discussion on how the interests of pharmaceutical companies and their shareholders and people who benefit from them for another time. But remember their need to profit from treating illness really doesn't align with your wellbeing and minimising your need for treatments!
