The only moment to drop out of the top 10 list was ‘Making voice calls’, which was ranked as 8th most important in 2022 (‘Look for information & study’ having replaced it).

Sadly, despite spending more time in our digital moments, the Living Secure survey reveals that we don’t feel any safer than we did two years ago; in fact, concerns have actually increased since 2022. Eight in 10 people now worry about their online safety and more than half of us (54%) have no idea if our devices are secure.
