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

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's pubs & bars could expose card takings, staff data and booking details, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage.

Why pubs & bars are targeted: Pubs often run guest Wi-Fi on the same network as tills and CCTV, giving any customer a route to card systems.
