Retail
Locking down and securing today's point-of-sale (POS), kiosks and ATMs gets harder every year. Retail systems are on the front lines of attack, where malicious hackers look to pry away sensitive cardholder data. The 20-year-old anti-virus industry that relies on pattern-matching and blacklisting to meet these threats struggles to keep up with the exploding universe of malware.
The Challenge
Retailers today fight financial loss on many fronts: data breaches, card network interchange bank fines and civil lawsuits. More states have passed security breach legislation mandating the implementation of security regulations and breach notification rules. And data breaches can threaten a retailers' brand as well as the individual retail customers.
