According to the UK Cyber Security Breaches Survey of 2022, around 39% of surveyed UK businesses report an identified cyber attack in the 12 months.
The results are relatively consistent with findings from previous years, and the attacks were divided into two main types:
- Phishing attacks (83%)
- More sophisticated cyber attacks (21%)
By “more sophisticated cyber attacks”, the survey refers to malware, ransomware and denial of service. Another interesting finding is the frequency of occurrence. Many businesses and charities calculated that, on average, they experienced a cyber-attack at least once a week.
One out of five surveyed businesses experienced negative consequences from cyber attackers. Though the causes may vary, the outcomes are often the same: losing money, data or authority in front of the business’s customers and partners.
Even with these troublesome statistics, just over half of the surveyed businesses took cyber measures such as implementing security monitoring tools to identify cybersecurity threats. It’s also important to note that organisations lacking threat detection tools may be underreporting the actual number of cyber attacks.
The above findings highlight the importance of incorporating cyber security and threat intelligence in business development plans.

Baseline cyber security for SMEs
Network Fish provides the baseline cyber security solutions that every small and medium-sized enterprise needs to ensure steady growth and development.

The range of cyber resilience
The range of cyber resilience is already implied in its definition: “The ability of an entity to continue to execute its purpose by anticipating and adapting to cyber threats and other appropriate variations in the environment and enduring, containing, and rapidly recovering from the cyber-attacks occurrence.”
Although often overlooked, it is essential for business continuity and growth. If a security strategy is planned and implemented correctly, it can bring major benefits to an organisation in case of a cyber-attack or other undesired events.
Like for example :
- Limit and minimise reputational damage
- Reduce financial loss
- Reduce the risk of IT infrastructure exposure
- Prevent a sensitive data leak
- Increase client’s trust in your brand
- Increase your competitive advantage
- Keep your systems running in case of a disaster
- Ensure continuous work processes
Improving your cyber resilience begins with designing a strategy and identifying critical assets. After that, Network Fish’s team creates procedures and controls and educates your team members on best cybersecurity practices. Our work continues with ongoing tests, monitoring, management, modification and support for your business’ IT security.
