Nearly all businesses in the U.K. faced cyber breaches in the last year, with remote and hybrid workers identified as the most significant risk factor, highlighting the security gaps caused by inconsistent policies and outdated infrastructure.

The report found that 85% of surveyed organizations acknowledged that new cyber threats are exploiting existing vulnerabilities, exacerbated by the reliance on personal devices and unsecured networks.
The MOVEit file transfer application's exploitation by the Clop ransomware group underscores how outdated infrastructure can be weaponized by attackers, leading to significant data breaches and extortion.
