Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's diagnostic laboratories could expose test results, sample tracking and NHS integrations, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why diagnostic laboratories are targeted: UK pathology outages caused by ransomware have shown how quickly attacks on labs cascade into cancelled operations.
