As retail-based companies continue to innovate and expand their markets, the need for security and compliance management grows. Traditional brick-and-mortar stores, online e-commerce retailers, restaurant, and other retailers accumulate tremendous amounts of highly confidential data across their point-of-sale, online, catalog, mobile, and supply chain management systems.

Safeguarding data in today’s retail establishments presents a significant challenge given the need for containing costs, providing convenience, and security. These challenges have heightened the need for effective cybersecurity so the organization can continue delivering secure commerce and supporting corporate business goals.

This industry segment has been especially hard hit with retailers of all sizes having suffered security breaches. The threat landscape is also changing with hackers targeting confidential competitive company information that is often sold to the highest bidder.
