Cyber Security Best Practices for the Jewelry Industry

with     
Jennifer Mulvihill, President Jewelers’ Security Alliance  

Cybersecurity threats against jewelers are on the rise. In fact, some of the most renowned brands in the jewelry industry today have been victims of ransomware attacks over the past several months.  In this increasingly digital environment, it is essential to protect sensitive customer data, financial transactions, and valuable business information and intellectual property from online risks. Jewelers rely on digital tools—such as POS systems, online sales platforms, and cloud-based storage—and therefore they become targets for cyber criminals and fraud schemes. Implementing strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, regular software updates, and employee awareness training helps reduce risk. By prioritizing cybersecurity, jewelers can safeguard their reputation, maintain customer trust, and ensure smooth, secure business operations avoiding any disruptive downtime.  

 

Please join us to learn about cyber security best practices for the jewelry industry.
