The 'Secure Tomorrow' community is designed to help retail leaders navigate the complexities of the modern cybersecurity landscape.

In this exclusive peer-to-peer community, leading business, technology and security executives will have the opportunity to network and learn from fellow C-level executives, exploring how to build a robust security culture, balance transformation with resilience and address a growing cybersecurity skills gap.

Together, through vertical and cross-vertical discussions and networking, transformational leaders get the opportunity to problem-solve and look to develop strategies that drive innovation, resilience and security in an ever-changing business landscape.

Retail resilience: defending against cyber attacks

With increased digitisation within the UK retail sector due to a surge in online shopping and technology innovations, consumers are demanding seamless, personalised purchases at discount prices. There is an accelerating shift to e-commerce platforms, mobile apps and integration of AI machine learning and IoT (Internet of Things) for a more seamless and personalised experience.

It’s not news that the UK retail sector is under pressure – but what should be making headlines and inspiring change are the routes thriving retail businesses are taking through this difficult environment. These businesses are leveraging technology to break away from a pure cost-of-living focus and shape a profitable future.
