"When a retail business experiences a cyber breach, millions of customers may also feel the pain. Consequently, retailers must consider cyber security a non-negotiable business investment," warned Jennifer Mazzanti, CEO, eMazzanti Technologies.
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "How to Battle Retail Cyber Security Threats and Win."
Ransomware Still a Top Threat
"To prevent ransomware attacks and minimize the damage they cause, retailers need to strengthen endpoint protection and email fortifications. Geo blocking will help prevent foreign hackers from accessing business systems. Additionally, retailers should assess and improve their data backup and recovery practices."
E-commerce Threats Require Multi-faceted Approach
"E-commerce threats can take a variety of forms in addition to ransomware. For instance, hackers hijack customer accounts to steal sensitive personal data, and they impersonate legitimate companies with fake online stores. Threat actors also infiltrate the systems used to manage gift cards or process returns online."
Data Skimming Prevalent Online and on POS Systems
"Hackers use data skimming to steal credit card information when customers make online or in-store purchases. To implement data skimming, they install malicious code on websites and apps or attach physical devices to card readers."
Access Management Critical to Address Supply Chain Attacks
"To guard against supply chain attacks, retailers must strengthen access management. Zero trust architecture, for instance, requires identity verification every time any user, device, or application attempts to access the system. Additionally, privileged access management will provide visibility into the actions taken by privileged accounts that hackers may target."
