As well as providing some practical tips on how to manage your digital identity, Sebastian reflects on why burnout is a common occurrence for many professionals working in this field and how he recovered when experiencing burnout several years ago. Sebastian Rohr is the loving father of a teenage girl and considers himself an "earthling", despite travelling on a German passport. Aside from his day job in Security, he regularly contributes to Millennium Development Goal (MDG) projects in developing countries such as Ecuador, Jamaica, Myanmar and most recently Pakistan, where he assisted in preparing a digital system for improving the Birth Registration process. An avid lover of nature and the outdoors, Sebastian likes to ride both his bicycle and motorbike and tries to be outside as often as he can to recharge his batteries.Find out more about Sebastian Rohr:LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastianrohr/Twitter https://twitter.com/wi_ing Background https://www.xing.com/profile/Sebastian_Rohr/cv; Key Quotes:'We have definitely become more traceable, and more trackable with whatever we do online'.'The stress level in the Information Security industry is immensely high'.'If you already passed your threshold with stress, get professional help'.'It's definitely a motivation to know that there are so many people out there who want your help'.'What definitely helps me through through tough times are my three close friends'.
