The Threat is Real

Why Cyber Security Matters

Cyber attacks are no longer a distant threat, they're hitting UK businesses right now. From high-street retailers to major manufacturers, no organisation is immune. The question isn't if you'll be targeted, but when.

It's Not Just Big Business

While these high-profile cases make headlines, small and medium businesses are targeted just as frequently, often because they're seen as easier targets with fewer defences. A single ransomware attack or data breach can devastate an SME.

  • 43% of cyber attacks target small businesses
  • 60% of SMEs close within 6 months of a major attack
  • Basic security controls prevent most common attacks

Don't wait until it's too late. Let's have a conversation about protecting your business.
