In the world of tech, things always go to plan… until they don’t. From minor glitches to catastrophic crashes, IT failures can disrupt businesses, damage reputations and sometimes, in the worst instances, put lives at risk. At Edmondson’s, we’re all about keeping things running smoothly, but we also know there’re lessons to be learned from past disasters. So, with that in mind, here’s a look back at some of the most infamous tech fails in history and what they can teach us in future.
Cybersecurity is no longer just a concern for large corporations. In 2025, with digital threats becoming more sophisticated and regulation tightening across Europe and the UK, strong cybersecurity is essential for businesses of every size.

Cyber threats are evolving fast, and small businesses are often the easiest targets. With fewer resources and limited in-house IT, many SMEs are vulnerable to attacks that can cause major disruption, reputational damage and financial loss. At Edmondson’s, we believe that understanding the risks is the first step in defending against them. Here are five of the biggest cyber threats small businesses are likely to face in 2025, along with what you can do to stay protected.
