The gender diversity statistics for our industry are still behind the curve; however, the article concludes that there is light at the end of the tunnel and I think that’s right. The onus is now on all of us to take advantage of the opportunity to encourage flexible working as we emerge from the pandemic as the first step towards ensuring that talented female employees don’t leave the industry after starting a family.

As with many SMEs, the insured were still trying to navigate the challenges of working from home, and this made the attack particularly disruptive. The insured acted quickly to appoint their own IT forensic experts and they were able to remove the malicious actors from the system before any data could be exfiltrated. The IT experts recommended the insured rebuild their servers rather than paying any ransom demand.
