Earlier last year, Marks & Spencer suffered one of the UK's most disruptive cyberattacks in recent years. The incident affected online shopping, disrupted business operations for weeks and exposed customers personal information. The retailer estimates the financial impact could reach around £300 million.
The incident is a reminder that cyberattacks don't just affect IT systems; they can interrupt sales, customer service and business reputation.
For every business, having strong cyber security, tested backups, and an incident response plan is no longer optional.
