The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has called on UK businesses to do more to stave off cyber threats to their organisations and the wider economy. In its latest report, the data protection watchdog published new details about the 3,000 breaches reported to its investigators last year (under UK law, all organisations must report such incidents within 72 hours of discovery.) Of these, the majority – some 22% – impacted the financial services sector, compared to 18% in retail and 11% in education. 

“People need to feel confident that organisations are doing as much as they possibly can to keep their personal information secure,” said Stephen Bonner, the ICO’s deputy commissioner for regulatory supervision. “While cyberattacks are growing more sophisticated, we find that many organisations are not responding accordingly and are still neglecting the very foundations of cybersecurity.”
