Consumer behavior is dramatically changing in the wake of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and that is driving operational change by retailers.

But managing that change and integrating necessary technology needs to be done right, and done on a secure, reliable and scalable networking platform.

Just how to ensure that scenario is the focus of an upcoming one-hour live webinar, "Digital Transformation of Retail Brands: Dealing with the Impact of COVID-19," sponsored by Netsurion.

The webinar, taking place on Oct. 6 at 2 p.m. EST, will be led by Netsurion CIO Mark Cornwell and Mark Cline, senior vice president of sales at Netsurion.

The two leaders will discuss challenges faced by retail brands during this unprecedented time and offer insight on what changes retailers can expect once the pandemic has ended; the threat of ransomware and costs associated with a breach, as well as costs related to network downtime events and how to prevent those events.

The webinar will also offer advice on what to consider when evaluating a secure edge networking platform provider and ideas on reducing IT spend while boosting network performance and security.

Cline has been working with restaurant and retail businesses for over 15 years to shape network security and PCI DSS compliance strategies, as well as deliver solutions that enable brands to innovate and grow their businesses while protecting the brand and customer data.

Cornwell, who joined the company in 2016, brings more than 20 years of progressive cross-industry IT leadership to his role. He oversees engineers at Netsurion who build, manage, and monitor the company's internal systems and technology. He previously served as CTO of Swiss Watch International, following management roles at AOL, Chico's FAS, Winn-Dixie, and Luxottica Retail.
