Three-quarters of U.S. retailers have experienced a data breach, half in the last year, says the Thales 2018 Data Threat Report.
According to U.S. retail respondents, 75% of retailers have experienced a breach in the past compared to 52% last year, exceeding the global average. U.S retail is also more inclined to store sensitive data in the cloud as widespread digital transformation is underway, yet only 26% report implementing encryption – trailing the global average.
