| Texte | New data illuminates how retail leaders can prioritize resilience.
In today’s retail environment, businesses embrace dynamic computing and other technological innovations to enhance operations and customer experiences. However, as these advancements accelerate, so does the risk of cyber threats.
The 2024 LevelBlue Retail Report reveals a significant challenge for retail leaders: aligning cybersecurity strategies with broader business objectives to ensure a resilient future, especially in securing the increasingly complex supply chain.
Dynamic Computing: Opportunity and Risk
Dynamic computing offers retail businesses unparalleled opportunities to innovate and gain a competitive edge. By processing data closer to the source, retailers can develop groundbreaking services, optimize their supply chains, and deliver more personalized customer experiences. According to the report, 86% of retail executives anticipate that dynamic computing will improve operational performance within the next three years.
However, this optimism comes with a cautionary note—82% of retail respondents also acknowledge that these innovations increase their exposure to cyber risks, particularly within the supply chain. As retail operations become more interconnected and reliant on advanced technologies, the potential for cyber attacks grows, making robust cybersecurity strategies more critical than ever. The complexity of modern supply chains, with their numerous vendors and touchpoints, only amplifies the risk, as each link in the chain could be a potential vulnerability.

The Misalignment Between Business and IT
Despite the clear risks associated with technological innovation, there remains a troubling disconnect between business objectives and IT priorities in the retail sector. The report highlights that while business leaders are eager to drive innovation, they often overlook the need to integrate cybersecurity into their strategic planning. This misalignment leaves organizations vulnerable, particularly in their supply chains, as cybersecurity measures are frequently treated as afterthoughts rather than integral components of business success.
One of the most striking findings in the report is that 83% of retail executives do not view cyber resilience as a whole-organization priority. Instead, it is often siloed within IT departments, with limited engagement from other parts of the business. This fragmented approach undermines the effectiveness of cybersecurity efforts and exposes the organization, especially its supply chain, to greater risks.
Strategies for Alignment
To bridge the gap between business objectives and IT priorities, retail leaders must adopt a more integrated approach to cybersecurity, with a particular focus on the supply chain. Here are some key strategies to consider:
1. Proactive Risk Management: Retail executives must involve IT and cybersecurity teams in the early stages of strategic planning. By doing so, they can anticipate potential risks in the supply chain and develop proactive measures to mitigate them rather than reacting to threats after they occur.
2. Cross-Departmental Collaboration: Breaking down silos between IT, supply chain management, and other busines |
