The United States and the United Kingdom share many cybersecurity threats. The first risk they share is the growing increase in data breaches. From the RSM article “Comparing US and UK cyber security risk perspectives” statistics show that the United States had 72% of their business experience a data breach, and the United Kingdom with 67%, both in 2022. “The risks are high in both countries, but with reported breaches more than doubling in the past year.” The second risk they share are attacks that try and takeover the business. By taking over it means attackers trying to get business employees to give out important information to them while they are pretending to be a trustful third party source. The U.S. has experienced 27% attempts and the U.K. 39% attempts. The third risk they share is the increase of ransomware, which is when the attacker invades a device or system and then blocks the users access to specific information only giving them back access for money. with the U.S. 23% and U.K. with 19% in 2021 however these numbers were predicted to skyrocket to the U.S. with 72% and the U.K. 62% for 2023, and increase even further in 2023. Both of these countries so far experience the most amount of ransomware attacks. The fourth risk they share is the high costs if a cyberattack were to be successful. An article from Statista “Impact of cybercrime on companies in the United Kingdom (UK) – Statistics & Facts” says that in 2023, the U.K. had an annual cybercrime cost of 320 billion U.S. dollars and the U.S. 452 billion dollars. This number is expected to increase greatly in 2028 with both the U.S. and the U.K. having an estimated annual cybercrime cost of over 1.82 trillion U.S. dollars.
