According to a report, 99% of UK businesses with at least 2,000 employees experienced cyber attacks in the past year, with factors like remote and hybrid workforces, inconsistent security standards, and outdated infrastructure contributing to the vulnerabilities. The survey conducted by IT consultancy Xalient revealed that 46% attributed the cyber attacks to remote and hybrid workers, while issues with detecting threats, enforcing security policies, and recruiting skilled security personnel were major challenges faced by the businesses. The rise in remote work has necessitated a shift towards more secure access service edge (SASE) solutions, but the adoption rate in the UK remains relatively low
The report also highlighted the need for businesses to address cybersecurity gaps, invest in training to bridge the skills gap, and leverage technologies like SASE to enhance their security postures against evolving cyber threats.https://www.techrepublic.com/article/xalient-breach-report/
