Retail

Retailers amass an enormous amount of data across their store, website, and catalog operations. Much of that data – credit card numbers, social security numbers, pharmacy data, personally identifiable information (PII), etc. – is highly sensitive and must be protected. Safeguarding data in today’s retail establishments presents a significant challenge given the customarily complex business and technical environment.

Protecting data in the retail environment requires a deep understanding of data vulnerabilities in a complex, distributed technical and operational environment. Unprotected data is at risk when it is collected, aggregated, used in operations, and analyzed.

Information security in the retail space should safeguard sensitive data across the retail landscape with integrated encryption and security management products. From a centralized control point, the security policy is defined and distributed to all the points requiring protection in a retail environment. Data is encrypted and decrypted, and encryption keys are managed, as sensitive data moves amongst POS systems, polling servers, operational databases, and archives.
