In 2025, approximately 19,000 UK businesses were estimated to have been impacted by ransomware attacks. This figure represents around 1% of all UK businesses, according to a UK government-backed survey that included responses from over 2,000 companies, charities, and educational institutions. However, it's important to note that reporting rates remain low. Many organizations do not disclose ransomware incidents, especially if the attack was blocked or no ransom was paid. Only about 4% of large businesses and 3% of medium-sized businesses admitted to paying ransoms following attacks. The National Crime Agency also reported 547 ransomware incidents between November 2023 and October 2024, a number consistent with the previous year. These figures highlight both the growing threat and the lack of transparency around ransomware in the UK.
Exploit Prevention
Exploit prevention is the proactive defense against cyber attacks that target known vulnerabilities in your systems. By identifying and neutralizing weaknesses before they can be exploited, we help ensure your network stays secure, resilient, and compliant. Our approach combines real-time threat detection, patch management, and intelligent safeguards to stop attackers in their tracks—before damage is done.
Third party Assessments
Your security is only as strong as your weakest link—and that often includes vendors, partners, or service providers. Our third-party risk assessments aim to identify vulnerabilities in external systems that could expose your network to compromise. We evaluate the security posture of connected organizations, uncover potential entry points, and help you mitigate risks before they impact your business. The majority of the major cyber hacks undertaken this year have been via third party systems.
