UK retailers face a shift from cyber protection to prediction

Gamma's security team said UK retailers need to move from blocking attacks to anticipating them. The shift follows a string of high-profile breaches across the sector.

Gamma works with retailers to build what it calls a "never trust, always validate" posture. That means treating every access request as a potential threat until verified, rather than relying on perimeter defenses. The approach mirrors the zero-trust frameworks that banks and government agencies have adopted over the past three years.
