About this event
53% of retailers believe that cyber crime rates have increased since last year, with the most pressing online threats being phishing, ransomware and denial of service attacks.
With over 90% of all retailers stating that cybercrime has either remained the same or increased year-on-year since 2015, the threat of cyber attacks isn't going anywhere. To ensure your business is protected, leaders should be upskilled in cyber resilience, and this online forum is a great place to begin that journey.
The BRC's Cyber Resilience online event, in partnership with Aon and Mastercard, has been designed specifically for:
- Retailers in strategic or director-level roles who may not possess technical expertise in cybersecurity
- Retailers developing digital strategies and new technology to support growth
This event aims to provide valuable insights and practical knowledge to enhance cyber resilience within retail businesses.
In today's digital landscape, retailers face increasing threats from cyber-attacks, data breaches, and other malicious activities. It is crucial for strategic and director-level professionals to understand the importance of cyber resilience and its impact on business continuity, customer trust, and brand reputation.
