Cyber security and ransomware attacks are increasingly hitting news headlines. UK organisations of all sizes are being hit, sending shockwaves through the business community.
The Financial Times recently reported that the cyber attack on British car maker Jaguar Land Rover has now escalated to an estimated £260 million in damages. Meanwhile, UK government data shows that more than four in ten businesses and nearly one in three charities experienced cyber security breaches in the 12 months leading up to December 2025. High profile organisations including the NHS, along with major brands such as M&S, Co op and Harrods, have all been forced to respond to significant cyber crime incidents during this period.
These incidents serve as a sobering reminder: network security isn’t optional, it’s foundational to business continuity.
What is the real cost of cyber vulnerability?
When networks are compromised, the consequences extend far beyond immediate financial losses. Businesses face operational disruption, reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and loss of customer trust. For organisations handling sensitive data or operating in safety-critical industries, the stakes are even higher.
The harsh reality is that cybercriminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated. What was considered robust security five years ago may no longer provide adequate protection. Many businesses discover their vulnerabilities only when it’s too late, after systems have been breached and data compromised.
Security by Design, not as an Add-On
At Onwave, we’ve taken a fundamentally different approach. Security isn’t something we’ve retrofitted to our infrastructure, it’s been built into the foundation from day one.
Our security-first framework includes:
- End-to-end encryption protecting data in transit and at rest
- Rigorous access controls ensuring only authorised users can access sensitive systems
- Continuous monitoring with 24/7 threat detection and response
- Regular security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited
- Secure connectivity solutions across satellite, cellular, fixed-line, and SD-WAN technologies
This comprehensive approach means our clients can focus on their core business operations, confident that their network infrastructure is protected by multiple layers of defence.
Trusted Technology from Industry Leaders
We don’t just talk about security, we deliver it through partnerships with the world’s most respected cybersecurity providers. Our portfolio includes enterprise-grade solutions from Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, and Cisco, giving our clients access to cutting-edge protection backed by global security expertise.
These partnerships enable us to deploy best-in-class firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, secure access solutions, and advanced threat protection. When you work with Onwave, you benefit from technology trusted by organisations worldwide to defend against the most sophisticated cyber threats.
Beyond Basic Protection
True network security requires more than just firewalls and antivirus software. It demands a holistic approach that considers every potential entry point and maintains vigilance across your entire digital ecosystem.
For industries we serve – including rail, aviation, construction, highways, utilities, finance, energy and maritime – security vulnerabilities can have particularly serious implications. A compromised network doesn’t just mean lost data; it could impact safety-critical operations.
Taking Action Now
If recent cyber-attacks have prompted concerns about your current network security, now is the time to act. Waiting for an incident to occur before addressing vulnerabilities is a risk no business should take.
Key questions to consider:
• When was your network security last independently audited?
• Do you have real-time monitoring and threat detection in place?
• Is your data protected by end-to-end encryption?
• Can you quickly identify and respond to security incidents?
• Are your connectivity solutions built with security as a core principle?
