Over half of UK SMEs (54%) have experienced some form of cyber-attack in the last year a new report by Vodafone Business has found.
The research, which is published today in a new report from Vodafone ‘The Business of Cybersecurity’, polled over 500 small and medium business owners across the UK and found that more than half (54%) had experienced some form of cyber-attack in the previous 12 months. This is an increase of 15% when compared to similar research conducted by Vodafone two years earlier which found 39% of SMEs had experienced some form of cyber-attack.
The findings point to a rising risk for SMEs to stay safe online, especially with more people working remotely and many businesses reliant on digital technology.
