The cost of hiring an outsourced cyber security company can start from as little as £500 per month, or £10,000 or higher for large companies. For global multi nationals, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to spend millions on cyber security and to protect yourself against an attack of data breach. Companies have the option to use ongoing monthly services to detect potential threats, or the opportunity to do one-off tests to check for vulnerabilities such as penetration testing or red teaming.

AI attacks pose real risks for companies because of their ability to scale and automate attacks like brute force attacks, smarter malware, deep fakes and advanced phishing. Attacks that were once slow, manual and easy to spot are now becoming faster, more sophisticated and harder to detect. UK government research shows that 32% of UK businesses have experienced a cyber attack in the last year, and experts warn that AI could make this number rise significantly.

Outsourcing cyber security is becoming increasingly common for UK organisations of all sizes. With cyber threats growing every year, many businesses simply do not have the in-house resources, staff, or specialist skills to stay protected. Recent UK government data shows that 48% of small businesses experienced a cyber breach in the last 12 months, and over 70% of companies say they lack the internal expertise needed to manage cyber risks effectively.
