In this interview, Matt Cooke, cybersecurity strategist, EMEA at Proofpoint, discusses the cybersecurity challenges for retail organizations and the main areas CISOs need to focus on.

What areas should a CISO of a retail organization be particularly worried about?

The retail industry has a very complex supply chain.

We have seen cases within the retail sector where cyber criminals are compromising suppliers' email accounts in order to hijack seemingly legitimate conversations with someone within the retail business.
