UK SMEs: A Comedy of Errors in Cybersecurity – 69% Lack Basic Protection!
More than two-thirds of UK SMEs lack a cybersecurity policy, leaving them as vulnerable as a piñata at a toddler’s birthday party. With 49% clueless about handling cyber-attacks and only 53% considering cyber insurance, it’s like they’re playing dodgeball with hackers… and losing.

It’s like inviting hackers to a house party and then wondering why the furniture’s on fire. Maybe it’s time to stop treating cybersecurity like the last item on the grocery list and start giving it the prime spot it deserves. After all, nothing says ‘welcome’ quite like an unguarded virtual front door.
