Secure digital transformation for retail
Retail environments span in-store, online, and supply chain operations, each with distinct security requirements. Palo Alto Networks provides a platform approach to protect customer data, simplify compliance, and modernize store connectivity.
Request information View resourcesFour security priorities for retail
Each area addresses a distinct buyer concern. Retail security requires targeted solutions across network infrastructure, data protection, regulatory compliance, and threat response.
Store network modernization
Replace legacy WAN infrastructure with cloud-delivered SD-WAN to reduce costs and improve connectivity across distributed locations.
Customer data protection
Discover, classify, and monitor sensitive data across cloud environments to reduce exposure risk and prevent breaches.
PCI DSS compliance
Address PCI DSS requirements with a platform approach that consolidates security controls and simplifies audit preparation.
Threat detection and response
Automate security operations with dynamic policies and analytics-driven enforcement to counter ransomware and account takeover attacks.
SD-WAN
Modernize store network connectivity
Legacy MPLS-based WANs are expensive to maintain and slow to adapt. Prisma SD-WAN replaces rigid telco circuits with cloud-delivered networking that reduces cost and enables rapid service deployment.
- Reduce WAN costs: Replace MPLS circuits with broadband and LTE without sacrificing reliability
- Deploy in minutes: Provision new store connections from a central console without on-site engineering
- Consolidate the store stack: Combine networking and security in a single device to reduce hardware and compliance scope
Customer implementation
AutoNation
Reduced telco costs by 25% and gained fast, reliable connectivity across 350 locations.
Customer implementation
Aaron's
Deploys new services in minutes across 1,600 stores with improved business outcomes.
Data Security Posture Management
Protect customer data across cloud environments
Purchase histories, customer details, and credit card numbers are high-value targets. Prisma Cloud DSPM discovers and classifies sensitive data across cloud data stores to reduce exposure risk.
Sensitive data discovery
Scan billions of records across cloud data stores to identify PII, PCI, and compliance-related data, including image-based content such as scanned receipts.
Data flow visibility
Track sensitive data lineage across IaaS, DBaaS, and SaaS platforms. Identify when production data moves to insecure environments.
Access governance
View every user and account with access to data assets containing sensitive records. Identify over-permissioned roles and third-party access risks.
Real-time detection and response
Data Detection and Response (DDR) uses real-time log analytics to identify suspicious data activity and trigger alerts within minutes.
PCI DSS
Streamline compliance with a platform approach
PCI DSS includes over 300 individual requirements. A fragmented security stack makes meeting those requirements operationally complex. A consolidated platform reduces the number of systems to manage, audit, and validate.
- Cardholder data protection: Encryption, segmentation, and access controls across the full transaction path.
- Compliance mapping: Map each dataset to specific frameworks and receive real-time alerts when data moves out of compliance.
- Scope reduction: Consolidate store networking and security to limit the number of systems within PCI scope.
GDPR and CCPA readiness
Gain immediate insight into data stores at risk of violating data residency and privacy requirements. Receive alerts when customer records are processed outside approved regions.
AI adoption with guardrails
Monitor data used for training AI models to prevent sensitive customer records from being encoded. Maintain visibility across complex multicloud data flows.
Extended Detection and Response
Automate security across sales and supply operations
Retail environments are high-value targets for ransomware, customer account takeover, and point-of-sale compromise. Cortex XDR consolidates detection and response across endpoints, network, and cloud into a single analytics-driven platform.
- Dynamic policy enforcement: Set policies that trigger automatically based on behavioral analytics
- Prevent account takeover: Detect credential-based attacks targeting customer accounts and loyalty programs
- Ransomware defense: Identify and contain ransomware before it spreads across store and corporate networks
Secure the store of the future
Consolidate store networking and security in a single device. Reduce risk, lower operational costs, and limit the scope of compliance requirements.
IoT device visibility
Enterprise IoT Security identifies and profiles every connected device in the store environment, from POS terminals to HVAC systems, applying Zero Trust policies automatically.
