IMPORTANCE
Why cybersecurity is essential for retail?
In the retail industry, cybersecurity is not just about protecting data. It's about safeguarding trust and continuity. As retailers increasingly move online, the risk of cyber-attacks like ransomware escalates, threatening customer information, business operations, and brand reputation. Robust cybersecurity is now a cornerstone of retail success, ensuring both consumer confidence and regulatory compliance.
CHALLENGES

Retailers often struggle with limited visibility into their expansive digital environments, making detecting and responding to cyber threats challenging.
Third-party vulnerabilities in retail
The reliance on third-party vendors in the retail supply chain introduces multiple points of potential security breaches, amplifying the risk of data compromise.
