UK Cyber Resilience Statistics 2025
Cyber threats are escalating in scale and sophistication. These recent statistics highlight the urgency for UK organisations, especially SMEs to invest in coordinated, resilient security strategies.
43% of UK businesses reported breaches
In the last 12 months, 43% of UK businesses experienced a cybersecurity breach or attack. The figures rise to 70% for medium-sized and 74% for large organisations, underlining how widespread and persistent cyber risk has become.
Growing need for coordinated security measures
Recent UK cyber resilience research highlights that many organisations are struggling with fragmented, overlapping tools and manual processes. To keep pace with threats, businesses need simplified, unified security architectures that improve visibility and response times.
£27 billion annual cost to the UK economy
Cybercrime is estimated to cost the UK economy around £27 billion per year. Beyond direct financial losses, organisations face downtime, reputational damage, regulatory risk, and long-term trust issues with customers and partners.
