Abstract:
Nowadays, cybersecurity is essential in protecting data, privacy, and integrity. Cybersecurity experts must understand cyber-related emotions, recognize threats, and balance technology and empathy to build resilience in the face of challenges.
Emotions significantly influence cybersecurity, impacting decision-making and exacerbating the effects of cyberattacks, such as anxiety and frustration. Cybercriminals exploit emotional vulnerabilities in phishing emails, targeting human triggers like fear or empathy, highlighting the role of emotions in defense strategies and attackers' methods.
The proposal addresses the overlooked mental health issue in the cybersecurity industry, proposing two solutions: focusing on the mental and physical aspects. AI can enhance cybersecurity mental health through early detection, personalized support, and human-in-the-loop systems, providing virtual psychotherapeutic services and identifying disorders, enhancing resilience and coping strategies. On the physical side, promoting a supportive work environment, including fostering a nurturing culture and ensuring work-life balance, can significantly improve.
Mental health challenges in cybersecurity are crucial for their effectiveness, enhancing resilience, job satisfaction, and overall cybersecurity infrastructure through AI, early detection, and a supportive work environment. Future research should integrate mental health support with cybersecurity practices, utilize AI-driven interventions, and foster supportive work environments to create resilience.
