A global survey of 1,600 IT professionals by Trustwave shows that a majority of cybersecurity executives and practitioners believed they were under more pressure at their jobs in 2017 compared with the year before. Cybersecurity professionals in the US (61%) feel that way than professionals in any other country, the Trustwave survey showed. Advanced malware and zero-day vulnerabilities are the top cause for the pressure that security people feel on the operational side of things, with 26% citing that as a reason. 29% identified board members, directors, the CEO, the CIO and other C-level executives as putting the most pressure on them.”]
