SecurityScorecard analyzed 1,444 domains in the retail industry with digital footprints of 100 or more IP addresses. The report compares the average SecurityScorecard grade of the retail industry to other vertical markets, highlights the top retail domains and includes unique retail domain information, such as percentages of malware infection discovered, reported breach data, and compliance analysis. "This year the retail industry's security posture fell lower than in years past, both in application security and social engineering," said Fouad Khalil, head of compliance at SecurityScorecard. "To remain competitive, retailers are adopting new payment and digital technologies, exposing them as prime targets for cybercriminals. This report demonstrates the importance of understanding the full retail ecosystem and how the industry is faring when it comes to meeting standard compliance guidelines." Key Findings:
SecurityScorecard continually monitors more than 200,000 businesses across the world and rates them on an easy-to-understand A-F scale.
