If you work in this field (information security) long enough, burn out is something you’re sure to encounter. You will fight against burn out yourself, meet somebody who is on the verge of burn out, or sadly, meet someone who has already burned out. We work our asses off. The hours are long. The stress is real. Isolation comes with the territory. If you are…
In kindergarten (or thereabouts) we learned the ABCs of the English language (assuming we’re from the U.S.). Learning the ABCs provided the foundation necessary to form words. Before long, words became sentences, sentences became paragraphs, and paragraphs became chapters, reports and books.

Hey there, it’s time for episode 107 of the UNSECURITY Podcast! Just when you think you can’t get any busier… You get busier. Maybe if I learned to say “no” a little more often.
