A new poll of SMEs shows nearly half of practices in the engineering and manufacturing sectors are still confused by or even unaware of GDPR rules, and only around one in ten see cyber attacks as a leading risk to their business. The poll comes on the back of a survey earlier this year from the National Cyber Security Programme that revealed nearly half of UK businesses experienced at least one cyber security breach or attack in 2017, with 66% of SMEs and 45% of micro businesses shown to have been victims.
