A Retailer’s Guide to Developing a Data Breach Action Plan

Best Practice Guide

The retail sector is especially vulnerable to data breaches

In the last few years, retail has zoomed by the finance, insurance, and hospitality industries as the most vulnerable sector to data breaches, one of the most common crises facing businesses today. In the U.S. alone, three quarters of retailers have experienced some form of data breach.

These data breach incidents represent a significant financial threat to retailers – just take a look at historical rankings of the most expensive data breaches. According to IBM, the average cost of a single cyber attack stands at USD 3.6 million. And, of course, a well-timed data breach, say during the lucrative holiday season, costs retailers a lot more, not just in revenue, but also in corporate reputation and consumer confidence.
