Retailers are always on the lookout for ways to boost holiday sales, the article begins. A proactive data security approach will help retailers avoid a data security breach and also has the potential to increase business if they tell customers about their advanced data security technology.
Data security is on everyone’s minds. Recently released statistics highlight the challenge that retailers face after this year’s flood of high-profile data security breaches and ongoing security threats to stores and their customers:
• 45% of shoppers said that they would “definitely not" or "probably not” shop this holiday season at retailers like Target or Home Depot that reported data security breaches.
• Almost one third (29%) of consumers worldwide do not trust retailers and restaurants to keep their financial information safe from hackers...
A Proactive Approach
Carl Mazzanti, CEO, eMazzanti Technologies, a NYC area IT security expert, supplies network security hardware and services to hundreds of retail businesses nationwide. He suggests that the best way to calm data security fears is for retailers to take a proactive approach with data security technology and with their customers.
“Shoppers are increasingly concerned about the security of their personal financial data and need reassurance,” explained Mazzanti. “Retailers who have not been hit with a breach may think they are immune. But sitting back and hoping that your retail operation won’t be hacked is not a sound strategy. Data security requires an aggressive, proactive approach to provide the protection a business needs and the confidence that customers must have to open their wallets at your store.”
The Data Security Opportunity
A proactive approach to data security is an excellent opportunity to generate increased customer confidence in your business and preference for your brand during holiday shopping and beyond. Having superior data security technology can even become a competitive advantage…
Customers want to know what businesses are doing to keep their data safe. Even a few words this holiday season can provide a measure of reassurance for customers. With so many online and physical places to shop, giving customers a reason to choose your store can make a difference.
Moving Forward
Obtaining the latest retail data security technology is not difficult. A qualified IT security consultant can have it installed in a few weeks or even days. And ongoing service and 24/7 monitoring is available for a low monthly fee. The cost is usually less that trying to do it yourself.
If a data security upgrade prevents a security breach, its value is priceless. Considered as an investment and an asset, real positive returns are possible in the form of increased customer confidence and sales... Read the complete article
