In 2021, ** percent of respondents indicated that cyber security attacks caused work interruptions and/or production downtime in affected departments. Loss of personally identifiable customer information took the second place with ** percent. Notably, with ** percent, respondents from wholesale and retail companies were most likely to report loss of PII.
In 2021, around 45 percent of healthcare organizations reported that they had experienced a phishing attack in the previous twelve months, making it by far the most common cyber security incident reported. A further share of 17 percent experienced ransomware attacks, while seven percent saw data breaches or leakage.
The Cyber Security Breaches Survey, 2021 (CSBS) was run to understand organisations' approaches and attitudes to cyber security, and to understand their experience of cyber security breaches, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the survey was to support the Government by providing evidence that can inform policies which help to make Britain a safer place to do business online. Details of changes for the 2021 survey can be found in the Technical Annex documentation.
These surveys have been conducted annually since 2016 to understand the views of UK organisations on cyber security. Data are collected on topics including online use; attitudes of organisations to cyber security and awareness of Government initiatives; approaches to cyber security (including investment and processes); incidences and impact of a cyber security breach or attack; and how breaches are dealt with by the organisation. This information helps to inform Government policy towards organisations, including how best to target key messages to businesses and charities so that they are cyber secure (and so that the UK is the safest place in the world to do business online). The study is funded by the DCMS as part of the National Cyber Security Programme.
The underlying data are useful for researchers to better understand the response across a range of organisations and for wider comparability over time. The survey originally only covered businesses but was expanded to include charities from the 2018 survey onwards. From 2020, the survey includes a sample of education institutions (primary and secondary schools, further and higher education). Please note that the UK Data Service only holds data from 2018 onwards.

According to a survey conducted among IT security professionals worldwide, an increase in cyber attacks since the COVID-19 pandemic has been mostly seen in the area of data exfiltration and leakage. This includes unauthorized removal or transfer of data from a device, either by a perpetrator or malware. Phishing emails were also increasingly encountered by **** of the respondents.

The Dataset "Cyber Security Indexes" includes four indicators which illustrate the current cyber security situation around the world. The data is provided on 193 countries and territories, grouped by five geographical regions - Africa, North America, South America, Europe and Asia-Pasific.
The Cybersecurity Exposure Index (CEI) defines the level of exposure to cybercrime by country from 0 to 1; the higher the score, the higher the exposure (provided by 10guard). The indicator was last updated in 2020.
The Global Cyber Security Index (GCI) is a trusted reference that measures the commitment of countries to cybersecurity at a global level – to raise awareness of the importance and different dimensions of the issue (provided by the International Telecommunication Union - ITU). The indicator was last updated in 2021.
The National Cyber Security Index (NCSI) measures a country's readiness to address cyber threats and manage cyber incidents. It is composed of categories, capacities, and indicators (provided by NCSI). The indicator was last updated in January 2023.
The Digital Development Level (DDL) defines the average percentage the country received from the maximum value of both indices (provided by NCSI). The indicator was last updated in January 2023.
The dataset can be used for practising data cleaning, data visualization (on maps and round/bar charts), finding correlations between the indexes and predicting the missing data.
The data was used in the analytical article research The Geography of Cybersecurity: Cyber Threats and Vulnerabilities
