As breaches continue to rise, cybersecurity and development professionals are feeling the pressure to maintain their organizations' security postures.

Invicti Security released a report unveiling how developers and security professionals are overworked and understaffed, yet prideful of their roles within their organizations.

DevSecOps professionals spend more than 4 hours each workday addressing security issues that never should have happened in the first place, with 41% of cybersecurity professionals spending 5+ hours addressing security issues compared to 32% of their developer counterparts.

After the last vulnerability is discovered, 81% of professionals are likely to already feel anxious about the next.

Despite increased pressure, developers and security professionals are proud of their careers.

"Moving to the cloud and the pressure to secure everything without slowing down business priorities has made cybersecurity and development professionals the sung heroes of their organization," said Sonali Shah, Chief Product Officer at Invicti.
