Ransomware Demands - A Record Breaking Fee
Recently a company paid an unprecedented $75 million ransom to cyber criminals, nearly doubling previous records. This isn't just a headline - it's a wake-up call.

Key Takeaways from the New UK Cyber Security Bill

Key changes:
Critical areas to address:
1?? Supply chain security
29% of breaches in Q4 2023 were third-party attacks
Action: Audit your suppliers' security practices
2?? Public sector interconnections
Focus on security systems across entities
Action: Map your connections and assess vulnerabilities
3?? Legacy system risks
30-50% of NHS IT issues use outdated technology
Action: Prioritise upgrades or enhanced protection for legacy systems
Our CEO Oliver Pinson-Roxburgh shares his thoughts:
"MSPs and critical suppliers to businesses will need to assess their security strategies and alignment with UK and EU NIS changes. There is a real need for cyber businesses to collaborate more with mid-market organisations struggling with security and to support the UK MSP market to protect their customers, reduce complexity and allow businesses to focus on growth and innovation."
