Burnout is real

51% of cybersecurity professionals experience stress or burnout.¹ Frustration with security tools and data, such as high alert volumes and false positives and the lack of correlation across multiple tools, is the second most influential factor in causing employee churn (77%). The top factor influencing security teams’ resignation rates is burnout.²

Don’t lose skilled employees

Given the shortage of cybersecurity professionals, you can’t afford to lose skilled employees.

Lack of visibility into your security team makes it difficult to identify where resources and training are most needed. Inadequate staffing may also widen an organization’s exposure to threats.

How Critical Start Helps You

Our RSOC experts work around the clock to deliver unmatched scalability that effectively defends your operations against cyber threats. As a result, tedious tasks, such as Tier 1 and Tier 2 support, are offloaded so your team can focus on more strategic responsibilities, boosting retention rates and streamlining your security operations.

Reduce turnover

72% of security leaders say employee churn is heavily influenced by the amount of time their team spends on low-value administrative and manual tasks.³

Our RSOC augments your team by providing Tier 1 and Tier 2 support so your employees can focus on higher priority, more appealing responsibilities such as addressing real and emerging threats – not false positives. This minimizes burnout and reduces employee turnover.
