Cyber threats are a serious concern for businesses and charities alike, demanding vigilant protection against hackers and scammers. Let's delve into key insights from 2023.

Key Insights:

Last year witnessed a substantial number of businesses and charities falling victim to cyber attacks. Approximately one-third of businesses and a quarter of charities reported breaches or attacks in the past 12 months—a slight decrease from the previous year but still significant.

The financial ramifications of cyber attacks are noteworthy. The average cost of the most severe attack amounted to £1,100 for businesses of any size. Medium and large businesses faced a higher financial toll, averaging around £4,960, while charities incurred costs averaging £530. These figures underscore the tangible impact cyber threats can have on your bottom line.

Despite the growing threat landscape, not all businesses prioritize cybersecurity adequately. Alarmingly, only 68% of micro-businesses considered cybersecurity a high priority, down from 80% in 2022. Cybersecurity is a universal imperative, irrespective of the size of your business—it's not just a technical necessity but a strategic pillar that safeguards your data, customer trust, and overall business continuity.
