Beyond the Register: When Data, Devices, and Regulations Collide in Retail Security

A large retail company operates both physical stores and an online shopping platform, handling sensitive customer data and financial transactions daily. In the retail industry, where consumer trust is paramount, the security of data and IT infrastructure is a critical concern. The company must guard against various threats using limited resources, while ensuring a seamless customer experience.
