Retail
The retail industry is one of the top targets for cybercriminals, and the impact of this onslaught has been staggering to merchants. To secure the complex IT infrastructure of a retail environment, retailers must embrace enterprise-wide cyber risk management practices that reduce risk, minimize costs, and provide data security to customers and the bottom line.
An industry under attack
