The UK finance and insurance sector has the second highest number of data breaches of any industry, with over 300,000 cybersecurity breaches in the past year alone.
And, with photo-sharing apps such as BeReal and Snapchat on the rise, the potential for severe data breaches when these apps are used at work is creating panic across many UK industries.
Interested in identifying the sectors most at risk, the experts at Scams.info used data from the 2022 Cyber Security Breaches Survey to identify the UK industries with the most cybersecurity breaches.
