Retail is a well-documented target for cyber attackers looking to profit from loosely guarded credit card information. For retail companies interested in maintaining profits and customer respect, achieving iron-clad compliance and cybersecurity shouldn’t be a hard sell.
For retailers, IT risks are numerous and growing, encompassing everything from evolving compliance regulations, static in-store payment systems, and numerous employee access points to outside vendors that maintain or manage basic services like air conditioning systems or grounds maintenance.
The best approach is to be proactive and take steps to enhance cybersecurity, establish a governance framework, or become PCI DSS compliant before an attacker discovers holes in your cyber defenses.
Your organization already has security measures in place for your IT systems, but are you sure they are protecting your systems? The majority of security breaches take months — or even years — to discover. Even with security measures in place, your systems can harbor hidden vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.
Business leaders hesitate to invest in governance because they think of it as an optional expense. IT leaders resist governance because they assume it will result in micromanagement. However, when properly designed and implemented, IT governance makes life easier for both sides.
As technology becomes more advanced, regulations become more complicated.
