How Does IT Job Stress Affect Mental Health?
The physical and mental toll of job-related stress and pressure is a very real and pertinent issue within IT teams, as security environments must deal with ongoing and evolving responsibilities for security and compliance.
Corporate IT ecosystems are burdened with the tremendous responsibility of ensuring the safety and integrity of critical data assets and transactions. As the threat landscape continues to broaden, the daily pressure can overwhelm already overtaxed employees, leading to serious stress-related consequences. If major changes in processes or requirements are added to the mix, it can be a tipping point that gives rise to impaired performance, errors, and burnout.

The World Health Organization has identified a number of symptoms that can result from job-related stress, including depression, anxiety, poor performance, and sleeping difficulties.
