Organisations' reputations rise and fall depending on the security of their critical data. Even the smallest breach will not just lead to serious operational disruptions, but likely result in costly fines and potentially irrecoverable reputational damage. And the heightening threat landscape shows no signs of slowing down, with cyberattacks increasing in frequency and scale. Consider these recent statistics:
- In April 2024, 50% of businesses and 32% of charities reported some form of cyber attack or data breach in the previous twelve months1.
- The most common attack strategies were as follows2:
- Phishing (experienced by 84% of businesses and 83% of charities surveyed)
- Identity fraud, online and via email (35% of business and 37% of charities
- Viruses and malware (17% of businesses and 14% of charities)
- 34% of organisations surveyed do not have Cloud-ready cyber security measures in place3.
- 43% of data compromised by ransomware is found to be unrecoverable4.
- Bot-based attacks increased by 32% in the previous year5.
Taking all this into account, the highest standard of cyber security is an absolutely essential element of any robust IT infrastructure. This means both proactively securing against existing and emerging threats, and having systems and processes to ensure data and infrastructure can be restored as quickly as possible in the event of a breach.
It's a lot to consider - especially with the rapid rise of AI-powered attacks, and securing against the increasingly diverse, sophisticated techniques utilised by bad actors is an ongoing challenge for internal IT teams. Furthermore, the increasingly complex, interconnected nature of modern IT means that new vulnerabilities are constantly emerging, but often remaining undetected until a breach occurs.
