Minimize the Risk, Impact, and Cost of a Breach

Retail has been the most-targeted industry sector for cybercrime every year since 2018.1 This trend was exacerbated as retailers expanded their ecommerce offerings and allowed employees to work from home amid COVID-19, creating security holes across an increasingly decentralized network.

The industry experienced record highs in 2020 for website attacks, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, application programming interface (API) attacks, and account takeover (ATO) attacks.2 In fact, retailers experienced more than twice as many ATO attempts than any other industry in 2020.3

What’s more, a single breach could cost your organization, on average, $7.13 million.4 However, modern infrastructure security that leverages analytics, automation, and AI can cut that cost in half.5

Retail Cybersecurity Tailored to Your Needs

Retail Cybersecurity Tailored to Your Needs

Our cybersecurity experts will take the time to gather the necessary data and work with you to understand your organization. We’ll then make a customized recommendation with a holistic approach to your unique infrastructure security needs. Our process includes assessing your security landscape, patching up any holes, and devising a strategy to help you bounce back in the event of a breach.

Don’t Let a Breach Ruin Your Business

Cyberattacks impact retailers of all sizes, but SMBs are especially vulnerable. Forty-three percent of all cyberattacks are aimed at small businesses.6 Yet, 66 percent of senior decision-makers at small businesses believe that the chances of their organization experiencing an attack are low.7

This sentiment is especially alarming, considering that 60 percent of small businesses go bankrupt within six months after a cyberattack.8

A breach can devastate a retailer of any size, however. That’s why having the right cybersecurity plan in place should be your top priority. Our retail IT experts can help you protect your organization from potential breaches and prepare in the event they do occur.

Connection’s Retail Cybersecurity Solutions are ideal for SMB and enterprise convenience stores, specialty retailers, and quick service restaurants (QSRs).

Like all of Connection’s services, our Retail Cybersecurity Solutions are customizable to your needs. You can pick and choose the specific services and scope you need to protect your organization.
