Cyber crime is a growing threat to the UK public and business and government. Insurance claims for data breaches by business are being made at a rate of more than one a day as reported by the CFC. In addition there have been a number of high-profile attacks on larger companies where customer data has been compromised leading to public loss of confidence in the business. The Federation of Small Businesses reported the cost of attacks was around £5.26 billion to the UK economy.
