More than 25% of UK businesses hit by cyber-attack in last year, report finds
Briefly

A recent survey reveals that over 27% of UK businesses experienced a cyber-attack in the past year, up from 16% the previous year. Faced with increasing cyber threats, which many businesses underestimate, 73% of leaders anticipate a disruption due to cybersecurity incidents within the next two years. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) emphasizes the need for urgent action regarding digital risk management and notes that outdated operating systems in buildings could heighten vulnerability. Recent events like the Marks & Spencer cyber-attack illustrate the real-world impacts of such security breaches.
More than one in four UK businesses have been victims of cyber-attacks in the past year, highlighting the urgency of improved cybersecurity measures.
Rics identified cybersecurity as one of the fastest-growing threats facing owners and occupiers of buildings, urging businesses not to sleepwalk into disruptions.
