Following the\u00a0COVID pandemic, the UK has seen an\u00a0acceleration in\u00a0online\u00a0retail,\u00a0and as retailers continuously work to develop in-store and online\u00a0technology,\u00a0there has been an inevitable and significant increase in data breaches for the sector,\u00a0mainly\u00a0due\u00a0to flaws and vulnerabilities in payment systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only can\u00a0cyber attacks\u00a0cause\u00a0major\u00a0disruption\u00a0for\u00a0businesses,\u00a0in some instances\u00a0resulting in\u00a0temporary or even permanent\u00a0closure, an attack\u00a0can\u00a0also\u00a0expose customers\u2019\u00a0personal data \u2013\u00a0resulting in\u00a0hefty fines, penalties, data loss, financial losses, and reputational damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the potential devastating impact of a cyber breach,\u00a0recent surveys show that\u00a0less than 50%\u00a0of\u00a0retailers\u2019\u00a0questioned\u00a0have taken on solid cyber security measures to prevent cyber attacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
