Summary

Show ▼
A Vodafone Business poll and Six Degrees resilience index show a persistent cyber resilience gap across UK organizations, with 28% at risk and 73% average uptime for critical business services. The findings matter because 89% of senior leaders say major breaches made them more alert, yet 10% believe a similar attack could put their business out of business. Operational weaknesses such as password reuse, limited cyber-awareness training, and growing concern over deepfakes suggest many organizations remain exposed to disruption and credential abuse.
