Webinar Urges Businesses To Strengthen Cyber Resilience

UK businesses are being urged to strengthen their cyber resilience as new figures reveal the growing scale of digital threats. More than 40% of UK businesses reported experiencing a cyber-attack or security breach in the past 12 months, highlighting the increasing risks facing organisations of all sizes.

The warning comes amid a series of high-profile cyber incidents affecting major brands including Jaguar Land Rover, Marks & Spencer, Co-op and Harrods, with attacks causing widespread disruption to operations and services. Experts say these incidents underline the importance of cyber awareness, preparedness and robust response planning to protect business continuity.

To address these challenges, a webinar titled “Cyber resilience for businesses: risks, protection, & insurance benefits” will take place on 4 February at 10am. The webinar is being hosted by award-winning independent chartered insurance brokerage, family business and Family Business United members Alan Boswell Group, in partnership with CFC Underwriting. CFC is a specialist cyber insurer with more than 25 years’ experience and over 100,000 cyber insurance policyholders worldwide.

The webinar will examine the most prevalent cyber threats expected in 2026, the risks they pose to businesses, and the role cyber insurance can play in supporting both proactive prevention and rapid technical response following an attack.

Commenting on the issue, Paul Andrews, Founder and CEO of Family Business United, said: “Cyber security is no longer just an IT issue – it is a fundamental business risk, particularly for family firms where reputation, legacy and long-term sustainability are paramount."

"Family businesses must continue to address cyber security risks proactively, ensuring they have the right awareness, protections and plans in place to safeguard both the business and the family behind it.”
