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

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's metal fabricators could expose drawings, quotes and contractor payments, 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 metal fabricators are targeted: Fabricators are paid in large stage payments by contractors, and their drawings are often shared openly.
