CHICAGO: Trustwave, a leading cybersecurity and managed security services provider, today released comprehensive research shedding light on the distinctive cybersecurity risks facing retailers. The report, “2023 Retail Threat Landscape: Trustwave Threat Intelligence Briefing and Mitigation Strategies,” explores the specific threats and risks the retail industry faces, along with practical insights and mitigations to strengthen defenses.
In its new research, Trustwave SpiderLabs has documented the attack flow utilized by threat groups, exposing their tactics, techniques, and procedures. From email-borne malicious attachments to automated bots to remote access trojans, these persistent threats pose significant risks to the retail sector.
Retailers today are facing a barrage of mounting cybersecurity challenges. Unlike security incidents affecting businesses in less-publicized sectors, a breach involving a major retailer is almost guaranteed to become a headline- grabbing affair. Adding to the complexity, the e-commerce market surpassed a staggering $1.09 trillion in 2022, marking a 209% increase from the levels of 2019, according to Comscore.
"The significant shift towards digital commerce that unfolded during the global pandemic marked a pivotal moment for retailers,” said Trustwave CISO Kory Daniels. “An industry historically focused on compliance and point-of-sale security had to rapidly adapt to surging consumer demands, virtual workforces, and evolving threat actors. Our latest threat briefing is a valuable resource for retail leaders and cyber defenders, providing a comprehensive view of the threats observed by our Trustwave SpiderLabs team, along with specific mitigation strategies to help organizations protect themselves, their consumers, and their assets.”
The Trustwave SpiderLabs report analyzes threat groups and their methods throughout the attack cycle, from initial foothold through to exfiltration. A few key findings from the report include:
