Shielding the Future: Retail Industry’s Cyber Threat Landscape

Retailers face significant cybersecurity challenges as public-facing websites and applications remain vulnerable to attacks, especially with the rise of remote work.

The Shielding the Future: Retail Industry's Cyber Threat Landscape report emphasises the growing threat of cyberattacks and the difficulties CISOs face, such as budget constraints and talent shortages. To combat these issues, the report calls for a new, organisation-wide approach to digital security.
