When Giants Stumble: What Jaguar Land Rover’s Cyberattack Means for Your Business

Jaguar Land Rover recently suffered a major cyberattack that forced production to halt for nearly three weeks, costing millions and disrupting countless suppliers across the UK. The incident highlights a sobering reality: even global leaders with vast resources aren’t immune to cyber threats.

At times like this we often hear smaller companies using the old line "we're too small for the hackers to bother with". It's simply not true. In 2024 over 750,000 companies reported cyber incidents. Weak and outdated systems are commonly attacked, and untrained users with too much access can give away the keys to your kingdom.

At WYSIWYG, we work with businesses to identify weakness, strengthen, and monitor systems. Just some of the things we do as standard:

• Teach staff how to spot threats (and test their knowledge)
• Run proactive software audits to identify known risks
• Manage software updates to ensure security patches are applied
• Run business grade antivirus and EDR tools to keep systems safe
