Just saw the BBC article breaking down the latest government survey on cyberattacks. A 43% breach rate for businesses and even 30% for charities is pretty staggering. It feels like every other week there's a new headline about a major retailer, bank, or utility company getting hit. The article mentions that the sophistication and frequency of these attacks are only increasing, moving beyond just data theft to seriously disrupt operations.
It got me thinking about my own workplace. Our IT and security teams seem to be permanently overwhelmed, constantly patching something or responding to a new threat. We've had a couple of close calls that were pretty sobering. I'm curious, is this the new normal for everyone else? For those of you in tech or security roles, what's the biggest challenge your organisation is facing right now? Is it a lack of budget, skilled people, or just the sheer volume of attacks?
