68% of Breaches Start with Humans
The majority of attacks bypass people, not firewalls. According to the Verizon DBIR, 68% of successful breaches rely on stolen credentials or human error. If your security doesn't protect the endpoint, your perimeter is already compromised.
Data is Stolen Before it’s Locked
Attackers now use "Double Extortion"—exfiltrating your sensitive client data before encrypting your servers. Even if you have perfect backups, they will threaten to leak your data publicly unless a ransom is paid.
An Average of 21 Days Offline
The true cost of an incident isn't the ransom; it's the operational blackout. On average, a business suffers 21 days of severe downtime following a ransomware attack. For most mid-market companies, three weeks without systems is catastrophic.
43% of UK Businesses Hit Annually
SMEs are no longer flying under the radar. Recent UK Government data shows 43% of businesses experienced a breach last year. For medium-sized firms, the average recovery cost exceeds £10,000—excluding lost productivity and GDPR fines.
The Land Rover Breach: No One is Immune.
A massive IT budget doesn't guarantee security. When Jaguar Land Rover suffered a severe data leak, attackers didn't smash through their main firewalls—they walked in through an unpatched third-party supplier. It proved that in the modern threat landscape, being a giant doesn't make you safe.
The Vulnerability
Attackers bypassed enterprise defenses by targeting a weaker external link. A single compromised credential or unpatched server from a vendor can expose your entire internal network.
Public Data Exposure
It wasn't just server downtime. Highly sensitive production data and internal documents were leaked to the public internet, causing immediate, irreversible reputational damage.
