Effects and dynamics of Cybercrime on cyberprofessionals in the workfield. How can we optimize the workplace for our guards in Cybersecurity?
2025-06-13 , Elbkuppel

I would like to give an insightful exploration into the impact of Cybercrime on the mental health of SOC-Analysts and related roles which are connected to the upper management.
As we delve into this critical topic, we recognize the increasing prevalence of cyberattacks and decresing availability in the workforce. SOC´s are at the forefront of defending organizations against these threats, yet the demanding nature of their work often leads to significant stress and burnout among SOC analysts and upper management dedicated in the field of Cybersecurity.

Most of the time, we try to reflect on the technical stability in this area. But we do not figure out how important structures and regulated processes are relevant in this area, similar to High-reliability organizations (e.g. Aviation or Medicine).

I want to give an inspirational approach to improve the workplace, keeping professionals more resilient and longer in their workplace. My approach reflects not just on mental health and wellbeing, it´s partly a management calculation which should be added in the consideration of defending risks from organizations.

Whilst a Transformation Program, I found my passion for Informationsecurity and the Psychology behind. Some Years later, I am a future Cyberpsychologist, focusing on the human machine interaction. My aim is to give a better understanding what happens with us in the digital world and how we can gain the right benefit and limits for our digital future.
