43% of UK Firms Hit by Cyber Breaches, Survey Finds
Original: Nearly Half of UK Firms Breached: 43% Hit, Says 2026 Survey
A new 2026 survey reports that 43% of UK companies have experienced a cybersecurity breach, meaning nearly half of British businesses have been compromised. The finding points to persistent vulnerabilities across the UK's corporate sector despite growing investment in cyber defences, and is likely to fuel debate about security standards, reporting obligations and government policy on business cyber resilience.
Why now: The scale of breaches among UK businesses is striking and relevant to current debates on cybersecurity resilience and regulation.
