Every organisation, regardless of size, is exposed to a cyber attack due to the critical amount of client information they hold.โ€‹ โ€‹Malicious attackers continue exploiting such databases as people and organisations rely on internet-connected devices.โ€‹ Businesses need to be highly vigilant about the consequences of different threats, including ransomware attacks, data breaches and phishing email attacks spreading across the UK. โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹According to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, four out of ten firms (39%) had experienced cyber security breaches or attacks in 2021.

TWC IT Solutions investigated the 200 most significant cyber attacks in the UK using publicly available data provided by organisations. TWC also obtained information on over 500 prominent global cyber attacks in order to achieve a holistic approach.

The data processing was completed in two stages.โ€‹ The first step of the research generated 13 different graphs and metrics detailing the UK cyber landscape. The second phase focused on the collected data, allowing us to examine the specific characteristics of each industry and the type of cyber attack that took place.โ€‹

According to the UK Cybersecurity Report 2022, malware attacks are the most common type of attack targeting industries, followed by system vulnerabilities and phishing attacks. However, despite this data, TWC also concluded that not all organisations were able to provide further information about the scale or type of the attack, partially for legal reasons.
