Peak Shopping Seasons Are Now Peak Cyber Risk Periods

 Cyber Express featured a byline by Rizwan Patel, Global Head of Cloud, InfoSec, and Emerging Technologies at Altimetrik, titled“Why Peak Shopping Seasons Are Now Peak Cyber Risk Periods.”

 In the article, Rizwan explains how global commerce has entered a continuous high-risk cycle, where festive surges, fiscal closures, and cross-border transactions create an expanded and always-on attack surface. He highlights how adversarial AI exploits peak transaction volumes, adapting faster than traditional, human-led security operations.

Rizwan outlines a leadership playbook centered on Intelligent Trust, Dynamic Compliance, and Autonomous Resilience, emphasizing AI-driven, governed security systems that can anticipate threats, adapt in real time, and preserve trust when commerce is at its strongest. He concludes that resilience today is not defined by uptime alone, but by the ability to withstand pressure, scale defenses intelligently, and maintain trust under constant attack.
