Cybersecurity Challenges: AI, Burnout, and Insider Threats with Kayla Williams

At Black Hat 2024, we sat down with Kayla Williams, Chief Information Security Officer at Devo, to discuss her career journey, the role of AI in cybersecurity, and the pervasive issue of burnout among SOC analysts. Through her research with Wakefield Research, Kayla and her team discovered that 83% of IT professionals are burnt out due to stress, lack of sleep, and anxiety. IT and Security burnout leads to breaches.

For the past 4 years, Devo has been hosting SOC Analyst Appreciation Day, a virtual event where they shower SOC analysts with the love, appreciation and recognition that they deserve.
