Cyber incidents are a major worry for UK CEOs

According to a report by FGS Global, British business leaders are increasingly concerned about the impact of cyber-attacks, with 85% of firms experiencing a crisis in the past year. The survey, which included over 500 senior leaders from companies like EY and JD Sports, revealed that 36% faced cyber incidents. Jenny Davey, a partner at FGS Global, said: “The consensus from our in-depth interviews is that crises are becoming more prevalent, but also more unpredictable.” Additionally, over half of the respondents expressed fear of ransomware attacks, yet only 36% felt “highly prepared” to handle such incidents.
