Cybersecurity for Retailers
More point-of-sale (POS) systems, e-commerce apps, and devices with customer and payment data are vulnerable to cyberattacks today. Sophos’ unique security ecosystem offers robust cybersecurity to retail. This simplifies compliance with stringent regulatory mandates and industry best practices especially when new data privacy regulations are increasing the compliance burden on retailers.

Key Findings:
- 77% hit by ransomware last year
- 68% of attacks encrypted data
- 49% paid the ransom
- US$1.27M average recovery cost
- 88% have secured cyber insurance against ransomware

Maintain Regulatory Compliance
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) is a global information security standard designed to prevent fraud through increased control of credit card data. Organizations of all sizes must follow PCI DSS standards if they accept payment cards from the five major credit card brands, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and the Japan Credit Bureau (JCB). Compliance with PCI DSS is required for any organization that stores, processes, or transmits payment and cardholder data.
