Why Cybersecurity is Critical in Retail & e-Commerce
Retailers and e-commerce platforms handle vast volumes of personal and financial customer data, making them prime targets for cyberattacks. Effective cybersecurity is essential—not only to protect this sensitive information, but to prevent financial losses, maintain operational continuity, and uphold customer trust.
Operating in a highly competitive and fast-moving landscape, retail businesses must also navigate a growing range of cyber threats—from ransomware and data breaches to supply chain vulnerabilities—all while protecting their brand and meeting evolving customer expectations.
