Small businesses in Manchester have been urged to act after new data revealed almost half suffered an online attack in 2022.
According to the government’s 2022 Cyber Breaches Survey, 44% of small companies in the city suffered a cyber incident last year. That compares to an average of 38% across the UK.
The survey also found that Manchester firms are less likely than those in the rest of the UK to have a cyber incident response plan in place and are also less likely to have conducted staff training on cyber security.
