CISOs at small to midsize businesses with teams of five employees or fewer were surveyed to better understand how work-related stress is impacting CISOs - from their ability to do their job and lead their team to how it's affecting their own professional outlook and personal life.

According to the report, 94% of CISOs reported being stressed at work, with 65% confiding that work-stress levels compromised their ability to protect their organizations.

More than 70% of the CISOs surveyed believed their stress levels were higher than their colleagues in other areas of the business.

Work fatigue has caused 64% of CISOs to cancel a private event and 77% of the CISOs surveyed claim that work-related stress is impacting their physical health.

More than half of the CISOs surveyed want the ability to consolidate security technologies on a single platform - a move they said would directly impact their work life, helping to lower stress levels.
