In this month's CW EMEA, we look at how cyber attacks are taking a toll on security professionals, damaging their mental health and forcing some to quit. We all know how stressful the IT profession can be. Organisations across the private and public sector are heavily reliant on IT and the failure of certain systems can be catastrophic.
