SailPoint flags compromised identities as operational risk for UK and Irish retailers
SAIL•SailPoint said compromised identities pose a cybersecurity and business continuity risk for UK and Irish retailers, potentially disrupting trading and fulfillment and increasing lost sales, recovery costs, regulatory scrutiny and damage to customer trust.
1. Identity risks for retailers
An analysis published October 15 identified compromised identities as a central cybersecurity and business continuity risk for UK and Irish retailers. Excessive access can disrupt trading and fulfillment, increasing lost sales, recovery costs, regulatory scrutiny and damage to customer trust.
2. Limits of authentication
The analysis said multifactor authentication alone leaves permission risks unresolved, while automated identity governance can reduce exposure and improve operational efficiency.
