When Cyberattacks Hit, Businesses Stop

Cyberattacks aren’t hypothetical — they are happening right now, across industries and countries.

In 2025, British retailer Marks & Spencer (M&S) suffered a major cyberattack that disrupted its online services for weeks and cost the company hundreds of millions in lost sales and profits, as systems were taken offline by ransomware.

In July 2024, Indian cryptocurrency exchange WazirX was hit by a cyberattack that resulted in approximately US $230 million worth of digital assets being stolen, forcing trading and withdrawals to be halted temporarily.

These incidents show that cyber threats are real, costly, and ever-present — regardless of geography or industry.

No Business Is Too Small

Many attacks begin with something small — and who knows, someone could already be looking for a weakness.

Your First Line of Defence: Strong Firewall Security

Most cyberattacks begin at the point where outside connections enter your infrastructure.

A properly deployed firewall helps you:
– Monitor and block harmful traffic
-Allow access only to trusted users and websites
-Shield against unsafe links and hidden threats

A firewall acts as the essential gatekeeper — stopping threats before they spread further into your business.
