Securing Customer Data and Protecting Brand Reputations

Retail and e-commerce businesses have been all over the news on account of being the victims of a plethora of cyber attacks. eCrime is probably one of the most active attack vectors to date. Be it ransomware, point-of-sale system compromises, e-skimming, phishing, or other attacks, e-commerce cybersecurity teams have had to fight harder than most to keep their businesses safe from threat actors.

Retail and e-commerce industry cybersecurity teams need to evolve from securing the perimeter and endpoints to establishing data security practices to protect customer data and their brands.

Protect Customers and Brand Reputation

With customer data at stake, a cyberattack places retail and e-commerce and their supply chain partners at significant risk for cyber attacks. But most security solutions focus on other areas of the picture, other than the attackers’ ultimate goal, leaving many organizations exposed where they are the most vulnerable—their data itself.

Compliance and Data Privacy

In order to conduct digital business, retailers in droves collect customer information. Also, most retail and e-commerce organizations operate across multiple jurisdictions and borders and are challenged to maintain pace and compliance with various evolving privacy law requirements—GDPR, CCPA, PCI, and more.

Customer Data Protection

It has been reported 69 percent of consumers would be less inclined to do business with a breached organization. The Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) outlined that 61 percent of attacks targeted payment card data. Retailers must secure their environment with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) compliance requirements, or they will be subject to fines. In order to protect customer data, you need to know where it is stored, who has access to it, and what is being done with that data.
