The number of successfully executed cyberattacks against businesses in the United Kingdom has doubled in the last five years, new research has claimed.
A report by Beaming says that a quarter of UK businesses fell victim to cybercriminals last year, most of which were large enterprises. That's roughly 1.5 million businesses, up from 755,000 back in 2015.
For the past five years, large businesses (those with at least 250 employees) were most at risk, with 87 per cent of the respondents admitting to have been successfully breached in 2019.
