Retail Cybersecurity Is a Sector Problem — Scott Price, CEO DFI Retail Group

Scott Price, Group Chief Executive of DFI Retail Group, argues that retail cybersecurity is now a sector-wide risk—not a problem any company can solve alone. Recorded at NRF APAC 2026 in Singapore, the conversation examines why retailers need to share threat intelligence, how digital commerce has redefined customer trust and why hierarchical cultures can create new exposure in the age of deepfakes. What you will learn - Why silence after an attack can leave the whole retail sector more exposed. - How customer trust has shifted from price accuracy to responsible data stewardship. - What shared intelligence through RH-ISAC can add to a retailer's cyber defences. - The question every chief executive should ask their CISO. - Why employees must be empowered to challenge unusual instructions from senior leaders.
