 View Only
When:  Sep 26, 2019 from 01:00 PM to 02:00 PM (ET)

The retail industry is rife with opportunities for cybercriminals to engage in nefarious activities. It is currently the 4th most attacked industry in the world. From card skimming to payment data theft in e-commerce, there is almost no limit to the data accessible from the retail industry.

With the increasing use of rewards programs, credit/debit cards, and virtual payment options, cybercriminals have ample opportunity to bring consumer information to the dark web for use or sale. With activity in the retail landscape ever rising, the growth of cyber attacks on the industry rises simultaneously. 

In this webinar, we will discuss some of the players involved, skimming technologies (both physical and virtual), as well as the use of information to steal both business and personal financial data.
