Cybersecurity Trends in 2026: A Director's Guide
2025 taught us some valuable lessons about cybersecurity. Most importantly, considering attacks on Co-op and JLR, anyone can be impacted - regardless of size. Cybersecurity is now a board issue, not an IT problem. In 2026, the biggest risks will get even harder to ignore—they’ll come from believable scams, weak supplier controls, and employees who unknowingly open the wrong link. For UK company directors, understanding where the threats are moving is essential to protect revenue, reputation, and insurance coverage.

The Sophos State of Ransomware Report 2025 report highlights an evolving threat landscape that remains a major risk to organisations worldwide. While there is some positive news — costs and recovery times are trending down — the report makes it clear that ransomware is still as much a people problem as it is a technical one. For leaders, the findings underscore that cyber resilience requires more than strong defences; it demands investment in people, processes, and culture.

Stopping “Sweethearting” & Staff Theft at the Checkout: A Playbook for Retailers
Retail shrink isn’t just a back-of-house problem. At the checkout—manned lanes, SCO, scan-and-go-the risk of sweethearting (staff giving away items or discounts to friends/family) and other employee fraud quietly erodes earnings.

In April of 2025 Co-op was hit by a devastating cyber attack.
