- Attacks on rise after falling for past two years
- Homeworking will exacerbate the problem, says cyber expert
Businesses are being warned of the cybersecurity risks of homeworking as new government figures show the number suffering breaches or attacks is on the rise again after falling for two years in a row.
The Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2020 shows that almost half of all UK businesses (46%) had suffered incidents in the past 12 months - up from 32% the previous year – and of these, around a third (32%) were experiencing incidents at least once a week. The average cost of an incident to companies is now £3,230.
