What did the survey results reveal?

The latest survey covered the final quarter of 2021 and asked businesses how concerned they are about the possibility of a cyber-attack affecting their business. The majority of businesses (67%) that responded to the survey are somewhat concerned, while 11% said they are very concerned.

However, 30% of businesses haven’t implemented any security measures to protect their IT systems. Furthermore, just 17% of businesses plan to implement more security measures in the future.

One in ten (11%) businesses said they were not sure whether they had implemented any security measures, suggesting a gap in the awareness of security measures that are recommended to protect IT systems.

Trading difficulties continued for some, in many cases as a result of on-going disruption to supply chains, reduced labour availability and rising costs.
