Recent reporting from ITPro and The Register notes that 78% of UK manufacturers experienced a cyber incident in the past year. That is not because IT teams are failing. It is because the risk is being owned in the wrong place. Cyber security is not an IT problem; it is a business risk and framing it as an IT issue is why so many organisations are exposed. And the impact makes that clear.

According to recent coverage*:

👉 More than half lost revenue
👉 Some lost over £250k
👉 Operations and supply chains were disrupted

Cyber-attacks do not target IT. They impact:

• Revenue
• Production
• Supply chains
• Customer commitments
• Commercial performance

IT cannot own those outcomes. The business does. So, when cyber security sits only with IT, you get a gap:

• Technical controls without business context
• Security decisions disconnected from operational risk
• Incident response plans that do not reflect real world impact

Organisations that are getting ahead of this are doing one thing differently. They treat cyber risk like any other business risk. That means:

• Board level ownership
• Cross functional involvement
• Clear understanding of financial and operational impact

Stop asking “is IT secure?”

Start asking “how resilient is the business if something goes wrong?”

*Based on a survey of 500 senior decision-makers responsible for IT, OT, operations, risk or security

⚠️ Imagine waking up to find your customers’ data was stolen, but it wasn’t even your systems that got hacked.

Air France-KLM has confirmed a third-party data breach affecting its Flying Blue loyalty programme, giving hackers access to customer details. Sadly, it’s an all too familiar story.

If your business relies on partners, you also need a plan for when things go wrong on their side, because their breach can quickly become your problem.

🚨 Would YOU fall for a phishing email? 🚨

Every day, cybercriminals send out millions of emails designed to trick people into clicking dangerous links, downloading malware, or handing over sensitive data. Just one wrong move could put your company’s finances, reputation, and data at risk.

🔎 Think before you click! Here’s how to stay safe:

✅ Pause & inspect – Does the email seem too urgent or suspicious? Trust your instincts.

✅ Check the sender – A legitimate company won’t use a strange or misspelled email address.

✅ Hover over links – If the URL looks off, don’t click!

✅ Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – Even if your password is stolen, MFA adds an extra layer of protection.

🛡️ Knowledge is power. Don’t let cybercriminals win—arm yourself with the right security habits!
