Any business that uses digital systems, stores sensitive information, or operates online can be exposed to cyber risk. However, some industries are more frequently targeted or impacted due to the nature of the data they handle and their operational setup.
Industries most at risk include:
- Professional services – including law firms, accountants, engineers, and consultants that hold sensitive client records.
- Healthcare – with access to highly sensitive personal and medical data, this sector is a major target for ransomware and data breaches.
- Financial services – such as mortgage brokers, insurance agencies, and advisers handling financial records and identity documents.
- Education – schools and training providers store both student and family data, often with limited security budgets.
- Retail and eCommerce – especially businesses processing payments or storing customer credit card details.
- Technology and SaaS businesses – including software developers and IT service providers who may be targeted as entry points into larger supply chains.
While these industries are most commonly targeted, cyber risks exist for almost all businesses that use cloud platforms, online communications, or store personal data.
