Cybersecurity is a niche field. It can also be an isolating one, especially if you're in the work of incident response and digital forensics. If you are in incident response, whether as an in house responder or contracted specialist, the immediate stress can be extreme. It's not just the work of figuring out the attack and remediating the damage. It's knowing and keeping up with the communication, both internally and externally, informal or compliance required. It can take a physical and mental toll. And then there's the aftermath, whether PR or legal or organization specific. Knowing what you can share and process and with whom (if anyone). And digital forensics? You've got even more control over what you can share. That may not be surprising. But beyond that, there's the potential ramifications of even talking about how what you see, often striking and shocking images, affects you. If you say the wrong thing or let slip you've been affected, that can be used later to question your credibility and competence. This talk will provide a framework for understanding the stress of the job and what you can do to mitigate the danger to self and ensure long-term stability. Are you a practitioner? Come to learn for yourself. Are you in leadership or governance? Come to learn how to support your staff. Neither? Come to learn how to support your community. Because healthy individuals in the profession make a healthier cyber community for us all.
