Retail spaces can be exposed to a number of risks, meaning security leaders need to be extra careful when creating security plans.

Retail security leaders face an evolving landscape of threats as bad actors appear to be more brazen, even when met with increased security presence.

In the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of the retail sector, the imperative task of thwarting theft has undergone substantial transformations. 

Retail security was analyzed in a recent report by Software Advice. The report found that retailers are adding security cameras to prevent theft.

According to a retail report, petty theft (54%), grab-and-run theft (35%) and hostile customer interactions (31%) have increased in the last year.

As millions of people head to shopping malls and outdoor shopping areas, it is important to maintain vigilance because crime does not take a holiday.

The increased shopping during the holiday season often leads to increased cyberattacks affecting both an organization and their consumers. 

A retailer’s top priority is to keep its employees and customers safe. Technology is one tool that helps retailers mitigate retail violence. 

A new survey found that fraud attacks on call centers are on the rise, based on growth from 2021 to 2022, with financial industry respondents noting an even more acute increase.

According to a report, 73% of respondents expressed concerns about their personal and financial data being at risk during holiday shopping.
