CyberSN, a leading provider of cybersecurity workforce risk management solutions, has announced a new strategic partnership with Cybermindz.org, a pioneering mental resilience and burnout prevention initiative.
This collaboration will provide a holistic approach that integrates both technical and human strategies to build resilient, high-performing cybersecurity teams. By enhancing decision-making, improving clarity, and boosting overall team effectiveness, the partnership combines neuroscience-based performance skills with strategic talent management.
As CISOs increasingly prioritize human resilience over technology alone, investing in programs like those offered by CyberSN and Cybermindz can significantly reduce burnout-related attrition—potentially by up to 50%. The combined solutions include workforce risk management support, talent optimization, talent acquisition programs, year-long stress reduction and resilience training, and leadership and crisis support, ensuring cybersecurity teams are well-prepared to meet today’s challenges.
The partnership between CyberSN and Cybermindz will significantly enhance resilience on multiple levels. Nationally, this partnership contributes to the overall security infrastructure by ensuring that cybersecurity teams are mentally resilient and well-supported, helping protect critical systems and data from threats more effectively. Organizationally, integrating CyberSN’s workforce risk management expertise with Cybermindz’s mental health strategies will foster a more diverse, supportive and sustainable work environment, boosting team cohesion, effectiveness and significantly improving talent retention. On a personal level, cybersecurity professionals will benefit from transparent roles and responsibilities, upskilling programs, targeted mental resilience training, helping them manage stress and prevent burnout.
“83% of IT Security Professionals have experienced burnout, leading to errors that resulted in security breaches. These mistakes are a direct result of burnout and under resourced teams. This is an organizational issue. Partnering with Cybermindz brings a closed loop solution that allows organizations to be responsible for their talents resiliency and lower their risk profile,” said Deidre Diamond, Founder and CEO of CyberSN and Founder of Secure Diversity.
“Cybermindz is delighted to partner with CyberSN to address the urgent issue of burnout among cybersecurity professionals. Our collaboration harnesses the strengths of both organizations to provide comprehensive mental resilience training and burnout prevention strategies. Together, we aim to create a healthier, more sustainable work environment for those on the front lines of cyber defense, ensuring they remain vigilant and effective in their critical roles,” said Peter Coroneos, Founder and Executive Chairman of Cybermindz.
This partnership will empower organizations to attract, retain, and upskill cybersecurity talent while maintaining a strong focus on mental health and resilience, leading to more effective cybersecurity teams and reduced workforce-related risks.
