## Methodology

Weighted Cyber Security Breaches Survey estimates for businesses that identified and reported a cyber crime in the previous 12 months. The survey observes detected and disclosed incidents, not every attack. Regional differences can reflect the size and sector mix of respondents; uncertainty is material, so this is a London trend chart rather than a borough map.
