Industry Solutions: For Retail Organizations

Challenge: Ensuring that obtained credit card information is secure.

Over the past few years, the reputations of several well-known retailers have been tainted by embarrassing media stories uncovering a significant breach of their customers' private data. As a result, retail outlets that process financial transactions are now under increasing pressure to better safeguard personal consumer data.

Specific challenges faced by retail organizations include:

• Protecting IT resources in an environment that is highly distributed across many locations (e.g., stores, ATMs, vendors, etc.)
  
• Correlating log management data across all systems that store and/or manage sensitive credit card holder information
  
• Protecting information from threats that are extremely complex and sinister, including phishing, insider theft, and spyware
  
• Difficulty delivering IT security in a market that is highly cost sensitive
  
• Difficulty meeting the security management requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
  
• Cleaning up after data breaches, including notification laws, investigation, and litigation
