Chamber Lunch and Learn

Cyber Crime and the Retailer

Fundamental to the relationship any retailer has with a customer is trust. When a customer buys something from a retailer, there is a valid expectation that the personal data that the customer shares with the establishment will remain safe, regardless of whether that data is an email address or credit card data. And retailers understand this unwritten principle and generally manage the risks associated with data breaches as best they can. However, sometimes things do go wrong, even in Bermuda.

Bermuda may seem an unlikely target for cyber crime, however recent media reports have highlighted that it can and does happen here as well. You don’t need to be the size of Target to be, dare I say, a target. All retailers, regardless of size, are at risk, and retailers in Bermuda, albeit much smaller in size, are not immune.

In light of the recent cyber attacks that have been plaguing the island, the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce and KPMG will be holding a panel discussion on the topic of Cyber Crime and the Retailer. Our panelists will include Chris Eaton, Senior Advisory Manager of KPMG, Ronnie Viera, COO of First Atlantic Commerce Bank and Sean Lee, Head of Retail Bank at Butterfield Bank.

Light lunch will be provided.

Hosted by Retail Division Chamber of Commerce & KPMG and the venue sponsored by Butterfield Bank.
