Can Cybersecurity Leaders Protect Their Teams From Burnout?

As AI accelerates the pace of cybersecurity and pushes more complex decisions onto security professionals, managing burnout is becoming an essential leadership skill.

Bronwyn Boyle, CISO at PPRO, and Don Gibson, cybersecurity leader at Anglo American, explore how AI is changing the cognitive demands of cybersecurity, why even experienced leaders can miss the signs of burnout, and how psychological safety, better workplace practices, and a no-blame culture can help build more resilient security teams.

In this episode of The Watchtower, they join host Ash Hunt to discuss how expectations of CISOs are changing, why acknowledging burnout is no longer necessarily a sign of weakness, and what it takes to create a security culture that supports its people rather than simply asking them to withstand more pressure.
