Retail Information Security Challenges: Protecting Customers While Enabling New Technology and Improving the Bottom Line

As the economy slowly recovers from the financial crisis of the past few years, retailers face the daunting challenges of re-engaging cautious buyers while simultaneously improving customer service, keeping costs in line, and differentiating themselves from their competitors. The retail segment — which covers a gamut of businesses ranging from clothing and electronics sellers, convenience stores, mall and airport kiosks to restaurants and fast food chains, gas stations, campus gift shops, grocery and furniture stores, pet shops and more — is also under pressure to empower employees to be as educated and informed as customers, who are more savvy and demanding than ever before. Customers now expect purchases and exchanges to be available through any means, anytime and anywhere.
