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.

My company doesn't work weekends unless you're on call or something. I could see it happen with incident response or security operations, but other things aren't so critical that we need to have our staff working outside of normal business hours.

I may be lucky as well because I work within GRC, and we have a huge focus on work-life balance.

This 70% number seems high. I'm in leadership.
