3 Cybersecurity Predictions for the Retail Industry in 2014

Retailers Will Face an Increasing Number of Sophisticated Attacks
The types of threats retailers will face in 2014 will continue to include credit card data theft, denial-of-service (DOS) attacks and point-of-sale (POS) system breaches. For example, many cash registers will continue to run variants of Windows and be vulnerable to the same exploits as desktops and servers running related operating systems. Online retailers will also continue to come under DoS attacks that attempt to knock their sites offline.
