The Problem
A recent survey carried out by Barclays Business Banking has identified that 41% of businesses surveyed consider that Cyber Security is a major issue for them in 2018, In the same survey taken ahead of 2017, cybercrime did not feature anywhere in the top five business fears for 2017, this is most likely impacted by the events of 2017 where we saw some rather sophisticated attacks, from the rather disruptive attack on the NHS, various attempts to compromise websites and also many email scams that people fell victim to.
