A sharp increase in cyberattacks is putting organizations across industries on high alert. In a recent Computer Weekly article, Jason Pyle, Managing Director of Harvey Nash USA & Canada, highlights new data from the 2025 Harvey Nash/Nash Squared Digital Leadership Report that shows 29% of global tech leaders experienced a major cyberattack in the past two years, up from 23% in 2023 and the highest level since 2019.
This rise comes amid a growing and evolving threat landscape, with organized cybercrime, state-sponsored activity, and insider risks all becoming more prominent. Attacks are also becoming more sophisticated, leveraging tools like AI-driven phishing and deepfake impersonation, making detection and prevention more complex than ever.
In the article, Jason outlines several ways organisations need to rethink their approach in response to the rise in cybercrime - from strengthening internal cyber capabilities to outsourcing specialized support for areas such as threat detection and incident response.
He also addresses the growing talent shortages in cybersecurity, highlighting alternative hiring models that can help bridge the gap efficiently.
Cybersecurity is no longer a back-office concern, it’s a business-critical issue.
