Company Wrecked by Ransomware Only Spent 120,000 Pounds Per Year on Cyber Security
published on 2025-10-15 02:32:00 UTC by Richard BejtlichContent:
Today in an article about a warning to UK businesses about cyber incidents, their “director” said they “were throwing £120,000 a year at [cyber-security] with insurance and systems and third-party managed systems.”
That’s the cost of one cyber FTE, and it sounds like they didn’t employ ANY cyber people. This is what I mean by the “security 1%.”

This company was in the 99%, and intruders put them out of business, despite apparently having $100 million in annual revenue?
I never blame victims of intrusions, but the underinvestment in security is appalling.
