Steve Shelton | Stress and Burnout in Security

Описание: In this episode of Authenticated Access, Matt Nelson sits down with Steve Shelton from Green Shoe Consulting to talk about a topic that quietly impacts nearly every security and IT professional: stress and burnout.

Cybersecurity and technology attract some of the smartest, most motivated people in the world and yet those same roles often come with relentless pressure, constant vigilance, and a sense of responsibility that never truly turns off. We explore why burnout has become so common in this industry, how it’s reshaping work environments, and why pushing through is no longer a sustainable strategy.

Steve shares what leaders should be watching for as early warning signs that their teams may be nearing burnout, along with practical ways organizations can create healthier cultures. We also discuss realistic steps individuals can take to manage stress before it becomes overwhelming without pretending the job itself isn’t demanding.

This conversation is about performance, people, and sustainability in an industry where the stakes are always high. Because securing systems is important but not at the expense of the humans behind them.
