Mitigate risk | The most dangerous Cyber Security threats to your business revealed

Over 80% of UK organisations experienced a cyber attack in 2021/2022. The study by CyberEdge also found that ransomware attacks affected 73% of UK organisations.

Even more alarming, cyber attacks are set to increase if companies do not act urgently to provide their employees with the skills to mitigate and manage this risk.

Recent research from PWC found that almost two-thirds of UK organisations are increasing their cyber security budgets in 2022. Similarly, iHASCO has seen an influx of organisations seeking to train their employees in Cyber Security Awareness over the last year. Usage of their Cyber Security Awareness Training (recently updated to reflect the current climate), rose by 73% from March 2021 to March 2022.

Nathan Pitman, Director at iHASCO eLearning, says, “We are living in the golden age of technology. Whilst there are countless positives relating to the world’s technological advancements, it also means that cyber attacks are more prevalent than ever before. If there are any cyber security vulnerabilities in an organisation, it is only a matter of time before cyber criminals act upon them, and all organisations need to be ready to take action before, during, and after a cyber attack.”
