[Event] Increasing Cyber Resilience for Retail

An in-person workshop event for IT leaders co-hosted by PMC and Sophos on 6 July at the Sophos offices in Abingdon Science Park.

Cyber security is an increasingly complex field evolving at breakneck speed. In the last year alone, 69% of retailers have been affected by ransomware attacks. Retail digital transformation initiatives with an increasing number of mobile devices and endpoints across stores, make retail a prime target for cybercriminals.

Off-the-shelf security solutions on their own are not enough to prevent cyber-attacks. Correct configuration, knowing what to look for, and round the clock monitoring are required to identify and stop threats before the damage is done.

The event will provide a unique opportunity to discuss the key threats and security challenges facing the retail sector with your industry peers. And it’s specifically designed to arm retailers with practical strategies and a deep understanding of how to protect their organisations from cyber attacks.
