In the past 12 months, almost half of enterprises in the United Kingdom (47%) were attacked by an “increasing number” of state-sponsored threat actors. This is according to “A Look at Cyber Resilience and Security Across the United Kingdom,” a new research paper published recently by cybersecurity experts Absolute.
Surveying 250 UK CISOs for the report, Absolute found that 48% of firms were struck by a ransomware attack in the past year. Furthermore, more than two-thirds (69%) said the financial loss from a successful ransomware attack could cripple their enterprise.
