The latest Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025, published by the UK Government, highlights both progress and ongoing challenges in the cybersecurity landscape. Although there has been a slight decrease in the number of reported cyber breaches among businesses compared to last year, phishing remains the most prevalent and disruptive threat. Alarmingly, medium and large organisations still experience high breach rates, emphasizing the importance of continued vigilance.
The survey also reveals encouraging improvements in cyber hygiene among small businesses, with increased adoption of risk assessments and cyber insurance. However, some charities are facing setbacks, particularly due to budget constraints.
This report serves as a critical reminder that maintaining strong cybersecurity practices, staying informed about evolving threats such as AI-based attacks, and investing in comprehensive protection strategies are essential steps for all organisations today.
