Omnichannel connected services make popular targets

We are using more technology than ever. That’s especially true for corporates, with connected servers, databases, and services key to business in 2022 – and attackers know this. Ransomware attacks have skyrocketed, with businesses acutely aware of the constant threat of leaked passwords and security vulnerabilities. Omnichannel retail also needs to take extra care, with attackers looking to exploit the massive number of APIs companies use to connect their omnichannel services. When attackers know that one successful hack can infect thousands of systems down the line, the stakes are high – and companies should take extreme precautions, segmenting networks and decentralising passwords as a high priority.
