The 2024 Cyber Threat Landscape Report: United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States – based on VikingCloud proprietary research – highlights that while business leaders remain confident, the facts on the ground show that cybercriminals are advancing and innovating faster than their internal teams.  

This Cyber Threat report details today’s cyber professionals’ most critical threats, vulnerabilities, and concerns – and exposes how technology—especially Artificial Intelligence (AI)—is helping them fight back.

Key details include:

  • 40% of cyber teams (49% in U.K. and 54% in Ireland) have not reported a cyber incident out of fear of losing their jobs – a disclosure that signifies a serious underreporting of cyber breaches globally.  
  • In contrast, 75% of the same companies (75% of U.K. and 51% of Ireland) indicated they were confident in their ability to detect and respond to cyberattacks in real time – indicating a concerning false sense of security.
  • Europe appears to be encountering a riskier threat landscape, with 60% of respondents in Ireland and the U.K. claiming higher severity of attacks over the past year – 2x higher than reported by respondents in the U.S.
  • On average, 55% of all companies said modern cybercriminals are more advanced than their internal teams with the U.K. the highest at 63%.
