The UK’s retailing sector has experienced 44 cyberattacks in the last year – roughly one every eight days – according to research by Keeper Security.
As part of the 2021 Cybersecurity Census Report, three-quarters of retailers believe that the number of cyberattacks they are faced with will only increase in the next 12 months and, with that, disrupt the retail ecosystem.
The retail sector has been under immense pressure over the past 18 months. The COVID-19 pandemic has hit retailers’ front line with store closures on the high street and major supply chain disruptions as a result of Brexit.
