Retailers Adopt Zero-Trust To Strengthen Security

One year after a wave of sophisticated cyber attacks, retailers have accelerated adoption of zero-trust architectures and integrated risk modelling, industry executives say. Research cited in the article shows about 63% of organisations now have partial or full zero-trust, retailers use roughly five security tools on average, and the UK lost £1.1 billion to fraud last year. The shift emphasizes resilience and friction-minimizing security.
