Did you know, according to a recent threat report, about 35% of the breaches worked on last year involved business disruption, and brand damage occurred in about twice as many cases than the previous year? Changes to threat landscape such as new internet-facing exposures, vulnerable IoT sensors and AI-related threats can exacerbate this situation. In fact, retail and hospitality is one of the top industries for exposures with the average company adding about 692 services per month. The challenge is that ransomware attacks often occur due to internet-facing attack surface exposure. We also anticipate that AI-related attacks - which can enable attackers with better phishing and audio and video deepfakes - could further enable ransomware threat actors.
In this session, you will hear from experts and executives from Palo Alto Networks Leaders, Threat Intelligence, and Retail CISOs on how retailers are leveraging cybersecurity platforms and tools to drive innovation for digital and marketing teams around customer service co-pilots, fraud detection, and shopping assistants. But, since the retail vertical is built on thin margins and cost, you will also learn how to leverage an end-to-end cybersecurity platform approach, to drive tool consolidation, powered by technologies such AI, Automation, and cloud security to combat these threats and help retailers fuel innovation with proper cybersecurity for years to come.
