Cybersecurity firm Binalyze is releasing new research revealing how AI is intensifying pressure on already overstretched security teams as the volume and complexity of cyber threats increases.
Rather than easing the burden, the research finds that 68% of CISOs say AI is contributing to rising burnout risk across security operations and the human impact is already being felt. Security leaders report burnout symptoms including, migraines and headaches (43%), lethargy or lack of energy (42%), increased numbers of sick days (33%), extended time off sick or stressed (30%), and insomnia (28%).
The report reveals that AI is accelerating capabilities on both sides of the cyber battlefield for attackers and defenders. This is fuelling a surge in attack volumes while creating an explosion of data that is overwhelming already stretched security teams. To reduce the risk of burnout and help teams stay ahead of threats, organisations must find ways to tame growing data complexity and democratise proactive threat investigations across the security function.
