158-years-old. £100m. 700+ employees. 1 cyber-attack.

The 158-year-old logistics company had 900 employees and a £100m turnover. They spent £120,000 a year on what they believed was robust protection. But when a real attack hit, they discovered a fatal flaw in their business continuity plan, an untested vulnerability that compliance audits never caught. The recovery failed, the bank pulled its funding, and the business was gone in three months.

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from a business leader who experienced the worst-case scenario. It is a story not of negligence, but of a false sense of security that many organisations share.
