Performance
From brick and mortar to e-commerce, retail businesses are no strangers to security and performance risk.
Retailers operate on tight margins, face constant competition, and must deal with shifts in consumer preferences while keeping the threat of disruption top of mind. To enhance user experience, reduce capital expenses, and increase revenue, retail businesses are turning to IT modernization. While there are several benefits to migrating business-critical applications and processes to cloud environments, adding internet-connected devices for quickly processing payments, and reengineering existing applications to improve performance, IT modernization also introduces new security and performance risks that can negatively impact business resilience.
Challenges
Cyber risk impacts profitability
Advanced threats, unplanned downtime, and broken user experience are just a few examples of the risk faced by retailers. When combined with third-party and software vulnerabilities, difficult-to-monitor devices and multi-tier applications, and blind spots across complex networks, the likelihood of security incidents and performance issues only increases.
Digital Transformation
Migrating or reengineering revenue-generating applications to cloud environments can introduce security vulnerabilities, misconfiguration, shadow IT, and coverage gaps.
Unmanaged IoT Devices
Adopting Internet of Things (IoT) devices like handheld scanners or beacons in retail locations, warehouses, and fulfillment networks create new entry points and attack vectors for malicious actors, as well as new opportunities for broken user experiences.
Ransomware
Adversaries target infrastructure and people as a way to exfiltrate customer and business data, amplify damage, and extract increasingly large ransom payments.
Advanced Threats
Threat actors can evade endpoint security and firewalls to move laterally and use encryption to cover their tracks as they cut off access to the critical systems and data.
Compliance
Maintaining compliance with PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) requirements and other data protection regulations is complicated and time-consuming for stretched IT resources.
Take away
As retailers build upon complex hybrid infrastructures—with a mix of modern and legacy applications, cloud services, and connected devices—network visibility is needed to stave off security threats and performance issues.

Simplify monitoring of complex networks and applications
As IT environments and revenue-generating applications grow more complex and the risk of downtime increases, retailers need to unify their visibility and analysis across disparate environments. Packet-level insights from RevealX are the best way to understand and act on network and application performance issues that cost time and money. However, most legacy NPM tools force analysts to use unstructured packets for investigation. Parsing unstructured network data takes time, and when unplanned outages occur, every second counts. The top-down RevealX investigative workflow reduces time to resolution to ensure reliable user experience.
