Blue Teams have a burnout issue. Here is why and what can be done about it

I came across the Voice of the SOC Analyst poll , conducted by Tines, where 468 current SOC Analysts from organizations with at least 500 employees were polled. The results proved burnout is perhaps even more widespread than I had originally thought, with 71% of the analysts polled admitting to experience some level of burnout, and 47.6% of them admitting to feel very burned out at work.

In this article I wanted to share my take on why burnout is so widespread on SOC and other blue teams around the globe, and what can be done about it.
