Some 72 percent of retailers globally have experienced a cyberattack, with 61 percent experiencing one in the last year, yet 50 percent don't have a response plan in place to deal with data breaches.

This is among the findings of a new study carried out by the Ponemon Institute for Keeper Security, which also shows the average cyberattack on a retailer involving the loss of customer/employee data results in 7,772 individual records lost or stolen, with an average price tag of $1.9M from the disruption of normal operations.

Of retailers surveyed 87 percent agree that cyberattacks are becoming more targeted, 67 percent believe they are becoming more severe and 61 percent think they're more sophisticated. The most commonly reported attack methods are phishing (69 percent), web-based attacks (54 percent), and malware attacks (40 percent).
The full report is available from the Keeper website and there's an infographic summary of the findings below.
