Cyber Mindfulness Corner Company Spotlight: Egress

At the IT Security Guru we’re showcasing organisations that are passionate about making cybersecurity a healthier, more mindful industry. This week, Jack Chapman, VP of Threat Intelligence at Egress, spoke to the Gurus about the human side of phishing, leading by example, and eradicating blame culture.


When it comes to mental health and wellbeing support, Egress are a shining example of how a rounded, but personalised approach is key. They offer a wide range of traditional support, alongside dedicated programmes to foster mental wellbeing, including financial advice and private healthcare schemes. Earlier this year, they were named one of the 2023 UK’s Best Workplaces for the second year too.


On the importance of mental health in the workplace, Chapman says: “if we don’t look after our people how can we push forward together?” He continues, regarding their comprehensive company wellbeing offerings, “in terms of offering a broad range of elements, it’s understanding that people don’t fit into neat boxes, people need supporting at their level, at different times.”

Qualified mental health first aiders in the office.
