Securing the Retail Supply Chain

Given the expanded cyberattack surface, the ever-revolving door of retail employees that must be trained, and the number of players in the retail supply chain, it’s no surprise that the retail industry is a prime target for cybercriminals.

In fact, research from eSentire’s Threat Response Unit (TRU) team shows that the retail industry is the second most targeted industry vertical, behind financial services.

This should be a much-needed wake-up call for any manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer still operating under the mindset that they can simply prevent a security breach from occurring.

Cybersecurity leaders in the retail supply chain must employ a multi-layered defense strategy that encompasses a comprehensive Vulnerability Management program, Phishing and Security Awareness Training (PSAT), 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR).
