World Mental Health Day is recognized annually on October 10. At Detectify, we witness the fast pace of cybersecurity each day and to keep up we sometimes need to slow down. We recognize the important of mental health and this year, we asked Crowdsource hacker and founder of Haksec, Luke “Hakluke” Stephens, to share how he manages stress to avoid burnout as a cybersecurity professional.
