In today’s hyper-connected world, businesses face unprecedented cyber risks. From ransomware attacks to phishing schemes, cyber threats can disrupt operations, compromise sensitive data, and cause reputational damage. Effective cyber management and incident response is no longer optional—it’s essential.
Vetting Hub’s CPD Certified Cyber Management & Incident Response Course equips business leaders, IT professionals, and compliance teams with the skills and strategies to anticipate, respond to, and mitigate cyber incidents.
Why Cyber Management & Incident Response is Critical
Cyber attacks are rising in both frequency and sophistication. According to the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC):
-
Over 50% of UK businesses reported a cyber attack in 2023
-
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) accounted for the majority of breaches
-
Ransomware and phishing remain the leading threats to financial and operational stability
Without proper preparation, even a minor breach can result in:
-
Financial loss due to ransom payments or downtime
-
Legal and regulatory consequences under UK GDPR
-
Loss of sensitive customer, employee, or proprietary data
-
Long-term reputational damage
Real-World Cyber Incidents
Understanding real incidents underscores the importance of robust cyber management:
-
WannaCry Ransomware Attack (2017): A global attack affected NHS hospitals in the UK, causing cancelled operations and massive disruption. A lack of updated systems and proper response protocols amplified the damage.
-
British Airways Data Breach (2018): Customer payment information for 380,000 transactions was stolen due to inadequate cybersecurity controls, resulting in £20 million in fines under GDPR.
-
Small Business Phishing Attack: A UK SME’s finance team fell victim to a spear-phishing email, transferring £75,000 to a fraudulent account. Poor awareness and no incident response plan caused severe financial impact.
These examples show that cyber incidents affect organisations of all sizes and that preparedness is key.
