Ecommerce has exploded in popularity thanks to the rise of the digital age and most recently during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The retail industry remains a hotspot for cyber criminal activity given the amount of sensitive personal information it holds on customers.

Revenue is increasing as companies make it easier for consumers to shop. At the same time, the confidence that customers have in these digital transactions have given way to cyber criminals targeting the industry for a quick and easy payday. Never has there been more of a requirement for cyber security in the retail industry.
