Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's convenience stores could expose card takings, staff data and supplier accounts, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why convenience stores are targeted: Convenience stores run many connected terminals provided by third parties, often with default passwords.
