安全从业人员的倦怠率很高,由此导致的人才流失本身就是一个安全问题。这一劳动力群体难以研究:安全运营中心对外部研究人员封闭,接触从业者的研究通过雇主招募,而那些最可能脱离工作的人可能最没有理由回答雇主的调查。同一批从业者在在线社区中公开讨论他们的工作条件。我们将倦怠评估工具(一种经过验证的临床工具)改编为文本标注方案,并将其应用于来自五个网络安全从业者在线社区的354,861条帖子和296,442条回复。在与两名训练有素的编码员对100条帖子进行核对后,该标注在四种症状上的宏F1达到0.75,在检测任何倦怠信号上的宏F1达到0.98。我们发现四种症状指向工作中不同的问题,而非同一问题在不同严重程度上的表现。疲惫几乎出现在任何关于人员配备或工作量的抱怨中。心理距离(即对工作价值信念的丧失)是唯一与操作性问题无关的症状,并且在仅含单一症状的帖子中,它伴随明确离职意向的频率大约是其他症状的两倍。同伴回应显示出相反的模式。当发帖者表示正在考虑离开时,回复的组合转向职业建议,但这种转向对心理距离而言最小。与离职最密切相关的症状正是同伴调整最少的症状,而单一的倦怠评分掩盖了这两种模式。
英文摘要
Security practitioners burn out at high rates, and the resulting attrition is itself a security problem. This workforce is hard to study: security operations centers are closed to outside researchers, studies that reach practitioners recruit through employers, and those who have disengaged most may have the least reason to answer an employer's survey. The same practitioners discuss their working conditions openly in online communities. We adapt the Burnout Assessment Tool, a validated clinical instrument, into a text annotation scheme and apply it to 354,861 posts and 296,442 replies from five online communities of cybersecurity practitioners. Checked against two trained coders on 100 posts, the annotation reaches a macro F1 of 0.75 across the four symptoms and 0.98 for detecting any burnout signal. We find that the four symptoms point to different problems at work, not to the same problem at different levels of severity. Exhaustion appears in almost any complaint about staffing or workload. Mental distance, a loss of belief that the work is worthwhile, is the only symptom unrelated to operational problems, and among posts with a single symptom it is accompanied by a stated intention to leave roughly twice as often as any other. Peer responses show the opposite pattern. When a poster says they are considering leaving, the mix of replies shifts toward career advice, but this shift is smallest for mental distance. The symptom most strongly associated with leaving is thus the one peers adjust to least, and a single burnout score obscures both patterns.
