evidence: Within the group of organisations reporting cyber attacks, 31% of businesses and 26% of charities estimate they were attacked at least once a week. One in five businesses (20%) and charities (19%) say they experienced a negative outcome as a direct consequence of a cyber attack, while one third of businesses (35%) and almost four in ten charities (38%) experienced at least one negative impact. [...] Among those identifying any breaches or attacks, around half of businesses (49%) and almost half of charities (44%) say this happens once a month or more often and around three in ten businesses (31%) and a quarter of charities (26%) say they experience breaches or attacks at least once a week. The overall pattern of the frequency, shown in Figure 5.5, is similar to 2021.
