One of the four core skills in the evidence based psychotherapy Dialectical Behavior Theory (DBT) is Distress Tolerance. This term resonates with control systems and security professionals.

How security professionals can psychologically prepare for and deal with the distress that occurs during a cyber incident or other high pressure situations.
What can control systems and OT take from DBT to increase their distress tolerance when under attack or compromise.
