Improving cyber security together
Cyber crime is indiscriminate and unpredictable, and poses a substantial threat to the UK’s national security.
Its impact is far reaching. It can lead to business closures, inaccessible public services, compromised customer data and substantial financial losses. According to recent reports by Sophos, the cost of recovery to victims of a ransomware attack has increased by 50% over the last year alone, and now stands at a staggering $2.73 million (£2.07 million).
It is absolutely crucial that organisations protect themselves from cyber criminals by taking proactive measures before, during and after an attack.
To that end, the National Crime Agency (NCA), Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) have joined forces to arm UK companies with the knowledge and support they require.
