Stay open for business—but closed to cybercrime.
The retail industry is experiencing a massive shift in how business is done. Consumers demand faster transactions, flexible buying options, and direct engagement with your brands. This digital transformation creates new security risks. Your retail security strategy must consider every threat that cyber criminals use to steal data and damage your business.
Barracuda provides comprehensive protection against every major threat.
Retail businesses are prime targets.
Number of reported security incidents are increasing exponentially.*
Attacks on retailers have increased and changed significantly since 2018. Point of Sale (PoS)-related breaches have been in decline while web application attacks have become the dominant threat. Payment card data, personal information, and login credentials are the top three targets in 99% of attacks.

EMAIL PROTECTION
91% of retail cyberattacks start with an email.
Your customer data is a prime target for attackers, and malicious email accounts for 91 percent of these attacks. Fortunately Barracuda provides industry-leading protection that thwarts the phishing emails tricking users into disclosing their information.
Our solutions help you:
- Stop malicious emails before they reach customers
- Stop access to malicious websites and files
- Stop sensitive data from being shared
- Recover lost data from our enterprise backup
WEBSITE PROTECTION
E-commerce sites and apps are vulnerable.
Ecommerce deployments and mobile shopping or customer service apps are under constant automated attack. Without the right protection, these attacks can expose your website visitors to malicious code or credential harvesting. Your site could also be taken offline by a Distributed Denial of Service attack, causing you to lose sales for the duration of the outage.
Our solutions help you:
- Protect your business from data breaches
- Block advanced hackers and automated bot attacks
- Prevent loss of sensitive customer data
- Comply with PCI and other regulations

BRAND PROTECTION
Nearly 90% of retailers are at risk of brand impersonation.
Your brand is your promise to the world, and cybercriminals want to steal it from you for their own financial gain. Through no fault of your own, your brand can be used to cause harm to your customers, employees, and business network. Barracuda provides protection from email domain fraud, defending your brand from hackers and organized crime.
Our solutions help you:

RANSOMWARE PROTECTION
Ransomware attacks are increasing rapidly.
Ransomware is a multibillion-dollar criminal industry that is growing rapidly in the retail sector, showing a triple-digit increase in attacks between the first two quarters of 2021. Retailers across the world are embracing the benefits of integrated systems, new industrial control devices, and just-in-time delivery systems. These systems can reduce costs and improve the customer experience, but they can also open doors for ransomware criminals.
Barracuda’s Ransomware 1-2-3 protection secures your business against this dangerous attack. Our solutions help you:

- Secure web applications from attacks and intrusion
- Protect access to your applications
