Did Your Employer Just Get X-Tagged?
New UK research from Mactavish—the gurus of commercial insurance governance—has stumbled upon a not‑so‑glamorous truth: 43% of senior execs and managers say their own companies have faced at least one cyber‑attack in the last two years. The punchline? Most are still clueless about how well their bosses handled it.
What the Numbers Look Like
- 31% of those who’ve experienced an attack believe their organization handled it “very well.”
- 21% think the response was “poor.”
- Only 48% feel their employers aren’t worried about future cyber incidents.
- Overall, 51% judge their cybersecurity strategy as “good,” while 13% label it “poor” and 30% “average.”
The Bottom Line
Chief Executive Bruce Hepburn warns that cyber attacks are only getting hotter and most firms aren’t taking the risk seriously enough. “If you’re not reviewing your insurance coverage, you’re basically leaving your company on a playground swing with no safety net,” he says.
