The Register reports more than half of UK businesses lack confidence in basic cyber skills

The Register posted on Sep. 30 that more than half of UK businesses lack confidence in basic cyber skills, pointing to a broader concern around cyber readiness in UK organizations. Based on the material available here, that headline-level claim can be attributed to The Register, but there is not enough confirmed detail to go further on the underlying survey’s sample, methodology, or additional findings. That means the narrow, supportable news is that The Register highlighted an apparent majority lack of confidence among UK businesses in basic cyber skills, not a fuller independent account of the research behind it.
