The human side of cyber incidents with Peter Coroneos, Cybermindz
Though often overlooked, the psychological toll of cyber incidents in the workplace is significant. Research has placed the average level of burnout experienced by cyber professionals in line with or above that of frontline healthcare workers in the aftermath of COVID-19. Valeska and co-host Sikeli Ratu speak with Peter Coroneos, the founder of Cybermindz and a pioneer in applying military-grade trauma recovery protocols to cybersecurity. Peter shares his real-world experience and insights on the psychological impacts of cyber incidents, the dangers of blame culture, and the importance of investing in strategies that build resilience and mitigate psychosocial risk.
