As cyber threats continue to escalate, businesses are facing increased pressure to strengthen their defences. A recent study found that 74% of large UK businesses experienced a cyber threat in the last 12 months—a statistic that underscores the critical need for robust security measures. In light of this, the UK government is set to implement new cyber incident reporting regulations in 2025, ensuring that businesses are better prepared and more accountable when managing these risks. Our very own David Manfield Associate Director of our Cyber Security division at Investigo, provided commentary on this in a recent BBN Times article (link here https://lnkd.in/eY35v-Cd). He highlights the growing challenges businesses face in navigating the evolving threat landscape and the importance of recruiting skilled cyber security professionals to mitigate these risks. This aligns with the findings from The In Group's Tech and the Boardroom Report, which emphasizes that recruiting cyber staff remains a top priority for the c-suite (https://lnkd.in/eK7Tegsd). If you're one of the 30% of tech leaders who are facing challenges with hiring cyber experts, our team is here to help.
