The Next Cyberattack Could Be Yours — But Not Under Fortray’s Managed IT Security Services Umbrella

How Fortray’s Managed IT Security Services Can Shield Your Business from Devastating Cyberattacks

Cybersecurity has grown beyond its conventional IT confines. Now, the data flows constantly, and digital operations support many aspects of business. It is now a crucial part of business strategy to protect assets, reputation, and consumer trust.

Take a step back and consider the numbers. Cyberattacks are increasing at an alarming rate across the globe. According to the UK Government's Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2024, 50% of businesses reported cyber incidents in the past 12 months, and among medium to large businesses, the figure shot up to over 70%. Globally, ransomware attacks surged by 37% in 2024 alone. And the total damages due to cybercrime are expected to hit a staggering $10.5 trillion annually by 2025.

One of the most disruptive incidents last year involved CrowdStrike — a leading cybersecurity provider. A failed update led to a global outage, affecting banks, airlines, healthcare systems, and businesses across continents. The outage was a stark reminder that even companies designed to protect others are not immune to operational vulnerabilities. The consequences were severe: cancelled flights, inaccessible medical records, and halted business operations for thousands of companies.

And just recently, Marks & Spencer became the latest victim of a suspected ransomware attack. Their online order system crashed, deliveries stopped, and customer service lines were inundated with complaints. The public backlash was swift. Industry experts believe the attack may have been the work of a sophisticated threat group, exposing critical gaps in the company’s security infrastructure.

The message is loud and clear: cyber threats do not discriminate based on brand legacy, industry, or size. Whether it's a global tech firm like CrowdStrike or a beloved high-street brand like M&S, the digital battlefield is unforgiving. The question is no longer whether your organisation could be targeted — it’s whether you’re prepared when it is.

That’s where Fortray steps in.

The High Cost of Inaction

When you ignore or delay investing in cybersecurity, you risk not just data but also operations, reputation, and revenue.

Just look at the aftermath of the M&S incident. Customers lost trust. Operations were paralyzed. And the recovery costs — both financial and reputational — will likely stretch over months. Similarly, the global reaction to the CrowdStrike disruption revealed how interconnected and fragile our digital ecosystem really is.

The Time to Act is Now

Whether it's ransomware, phishing, social engineering, or insider threats, cybercriminals are always improving their strategies, so protecting your company requires more than just passive monitoring or off-the-shelf software.
