THREATQ FOR:
The Retail and Hospitality Industry

When it comes to cybersecurity, breaches in the retail & hospitality industry might be one of the most high-profile and are happening at an alarming rate. According to a report by Thales, a global technology leader, 55% of retailers have experienced a breach at some point and nearly a third of retailers have experienced a security breach in 2022.1 Retailers and hospitality vendors are investing heavily in cybersecurity to protect payment card data and other personally identifiable information (PII).

Key Retail and Hospitality Challenges

PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION AND PAYMENT INFORMATION

PII and credit card data is the lifeblood of the retail industry. Every transaction involves the exchange of valuable information, and this massive amount of data makes retailers lucrative targets for threat actors. Secure payment technology helps strengthen defenses, but it is not a silver bullet.

SPEAR PHISHING

Many of the top threats to the retail and hospitality industry use spear phishing emails that are nearly impossible to discern from legitimate emails. Some campaigns engage in a rapid, wide-scale attack to target multiple merchants concur-rently using a shotgun approach. Others target the merchant’s POS vendor or integrator to gain access.

VULNERABILITY PATCHING

Bad actors take advantage of the fact that IT and security teams struggle to keep up with patching of their POS systems, e-commerce payment applications and underlying internal infrastructure. As merchants strive to remain competitive, they invest in additional digital channels, applications and technologies that add complexity to the environment and further compound patching challenges.
