Cyber Resilience Starts Within: A Mental Health Perspective
summary
Maps mental-health actions onto 18 CIS controls and claims that a security framework can be repurposed for resilience, with concrete steps: inventory your mental state, set 1/3/5 year goals, schedule vacations and doctor visits, build a circle of trust and find mentors, take sick days for mental health, and use “eat the frog” — do the worst task first. Examples include using backups-as-recovery metaphor for mental refresh and trading late-night incident work for strict boundaries and planned breaks.
