Strong authentication for retail: protect your resources and increase your conversion rate
Don't overlook the benefits of multi-factor strong authentication (MFA/2FA) in the retail sector: strengthen your access security, protect your reputation and improve your conversion rates. But be careful not to choose just any solution MFA, not all are equal.
As a merchant, online or physical, you handle a large amount of data, both personal and financial. Your numerous points of contact, both internal and external, are vulnerable to being exploited by malicious people. Securing them is imperative to protect your customers, your reputation and, in the end, your turnover.
All the more so as, as we approach the "store of the future", new technologies are coming to all areas of retail and mass distribution. Each advance brings new risks, cybercrime and other forms of attack, which erode profits.
It is therefore necessary to set up defenses against the most common attacks: credential stuffing, phishing and its avatars (man in the middle, man in the browser), SIM swapping and many others...
How to secure without complicating and compromising the user experience?
Highly coveted customer and internal data
Retailers are constantly looking for innovations to make the shopping experience faster, simpler and more intuitive. Data-driven risk management and the rise of online payments are key issues. Data theft remains the main threat. Indeed, customer data and internal information stored by retailers is very expensive on the dark web. The impact of a cyber attack can be fatal to a company's balance sheet, both financially and in terms of reputation.

Many risk factors
Online payment
Loyalty payments and programs are a lucrative source that is easy for malicious individuals to attack, whether through phishing or identity theft.
E-commerce apps
Applications are the gateway to data and are an important vector of attack for cybercriminals, especially since they are generally less well protected than websites.
Employees
Non-revoked or reassigned employee access, remote access, BYOD... it is often more cost-effective and easier for hackers to design internal attacks to strip companies of personal data collected from their customers or employees.
The move to the cloud
A real boon for hackers: account spoofing gives access to a lot more data and information as the use of the cloud becomes more widespread.
