Retailers face an increasingly complex IT environment where every transaction carries risk. The sector accounted for 14% of all U.S. ransomware incidents*, making it one of the most targeted industries. The stakes are high—a single data breach now averages $3.48 million—and employees remain a top vulnerability, with more than 42% of staff at large retailers prone to phishing attacks* before training. Add seasonal demand surges, legacy systems, and IT talent shortages, and the challenge is clear: retailers need stronger IT resilience to deliver secure, seamless shopping experiences. That's where managed IT services come in.
