Amid a slew of statistics on how job stress is impacting security rofessionals, we sought to learn the causes of the tension and anxiety — as well understand potential ways teams might alleviate and remediate the potential of job burnout. Our global survey of sec rity professionals and executives further investigated the tools those security professionals use to understand solution capabilities, deployment strategies, technology gaps, and the value of tool consolidation. In this report, we explore some of the key findings from our survey.

So while security teams are feeling the burden of protecting the organisation without the executive support they need and the ample time to do their jobs well, they are also managing disparate, overlapping tools — a huge time suck — that could prevent them from doing their jobs more effectively.
