The position of security engineer has become a pivotal role for modern security teams. We wanted to shed more light on what it is like to be a security engineer and the importance of this role, so we surveyed 309 security engineers.

With this survey, we looked at why security engineers chose their profession, what they do on a daily basis, what challenges they face, and a host of other aspects of their work lives. Our goal is to share what makes security engineers tick and what, quite frankly, unravels them.
