Cybersecurity teams are under relentless pressure. Alert fatigue, AI-accelerated attacks, staffing shortages, and unrealistic expectations are driving burnout faster than organizations can replace talent. While many leaders hope AI will relieve the strain, poor implementation often increases cognitive load and accelerates exhaustion. This session reframes cybersecurity burnout as a leadership and team-design problem, not a people problem. Attendees will explore why traditional staffing, role design, and performance models are failing—and how elite organizations are intentionally building “battle-ready” teams that perform under pressure without burning out their people. Using real-world examples and practical frameworks, this session shows how AI can either amplify burnout or meaningfully reduce it, depending on leadership decisions, workflow design, and role clarity. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies they can immediately apply to retain talent, improve resilience, and build sustainable, high-performing cybersecurity teams in an AI-driven threat landscape.
