Cyber crime statistics are everywhere. Clear insight? Less so.
To cut through the noise, Beacon IT has published a new in-depth research piece analysing reported UK cyber-enabled crime data, with a focus on clarity, context, and real-world relevance for businesses.
Rather than recycling headline figures, the research breaks down official Action Fraud (Now Report Fraud) data over a 12-month period to show how cyber crime impacts different regions, sectors, and organisation types across the UK. The aim is to replace vague fear-based stats with actual reported figures decision-makers can actually use.
The findings highlight the scale of reported financial losses, how cyber crime disproportionately affects organisations compared to individuals, and why businesses continue to bear the highest financial impact per incident. The research also explores patterns often missed in surface-level reporting, offering practical insight into where risks are increasing and why.
This piece forms part of Beacon IT’s wider commitment to thought leadership in cyber security. Helping business leaders understand not just that cyber crime is rising, but how it’s affecting UK organisations and what that means in practical terms.
