Lansafe Ltd. head office, Appley Bridge, Wigan

Northwest based Lansafe Ltd. a renowned leader in technology solutions, has started the new year with the launch of its latest product, IMPACT. This advanced software provides triple threat protection for businesses, amidst the ever-evolving landscape of cybercrime.

As part of the launch, Lansafe Ltd. from Appley Bridge, Wigan is encouraging small and medium-sized businesses (SME) in the region to participate in their #JanuaryBusinessHealthCheck with a free, no-obligation, cyber security risk assessment.

In an era dominated by digital transformation, businesses are facing an unprecedented surge in cyber threats, manifesting in a myriad of sophisticated criminal activities. From ransomware attacks crippling operations to phishing schemes exploiting unsuspecting employees. Have you ever received an email pretending to be your managing director, or Sharon from accounts asking for money to be transferred? Recent incidents have highlighted the omnipresent danger, ranging from data breaches compromising sensitive information, to business email scams, siphoning off funds.

The latest data from Proofpoint’s ‘State of The Phish’ report, highlighted a dramatic 400% increase in SME cybercrime over the last 12 months with advances in AI technology identified as being partly responsible for causing significant, sometimes irreversible damage. Research conducted by the UK Government Department for Science, Innovation and Technology in 2023* identified 2.39 million instances of cyber-crime across UK businesses in the last 12 months and discovered that only 15% of businesses have performed a cyber security vulnerability risk assessment.
