The Committee's recent inquiry into cyber-security was triggered by a series of data breaches at Talk Talk, but the Committee has warned that the problem is significant, growing, and affects all sectors with an on-line platform or service. Ninety per cent of large organisations have reportedly experienced a security breach, and 25% of companies experience a cyber-breach at least once a month. The public sector fares no better: the latest research from the ICO shows that the health sector has the most data breaches, followed by local government.
