RETAIL AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

Enhance the customer experience and maintain a secure, compliant xIoT environment

With the proliferation of smart devices and connected technologies in the retail and hospitality sectors, businesses are increasingly integrating xTended Internet of Things (xIoT) devices to enhance customer experiences and streamline operations. However, these devices, ranging from connected point-of-sale systems to smart hotel room controls, contribute to an ever-increasing attack surface.

The Challenge

Retail and hospitality businesses must be able to identify all their connected devices, from POS terminals, printers, and Building Management Systems to IP cameras and door controllers, and secure them – efficiently and at scale – against the most significant IoT and OT device vulnerabilities, including:
Unknown Asset Inventory

Default Credentials

Out-of-Date and Vulnerable Firmware

Risky Configurations

Banned and End-of-Life Devices

Expired of Self-signed Certificates

BEST-OF-BREED CPS PROTECTION PLATFORM

SECURING RETAIL & HOSPITALITY

Real-World Use Cases

High-Fidelity Asset Inventory & Risk Assessment

Gain full visibility into xIoT devices across retail outlets and hospitality venues, with detailed risk analysis unachievable with passive solutions.

Password & Device Hardening

Strengthen security by changing default passwords and scheduling regular updates for devices, including POS systems, digital signage, printers, and environmental controls. Turn off services and disable insecure ports & protocols, including Telnet.

Banned xIoT Devices

Find and remove FCC-banned xIoT devices — produced by manufacturers like Huawei, ZTE, Dahua, and Hikvision — from your network.

Expired & Self-Signed Certificates

Update or revoke expired or self-signed certificates on thousands of devices, such as payment terminals, quickly and efficiently.

Continuous Monitoring & Management

See the state of things with in-depth alert actions and continuous monitoring for password resets, expired certificates, CVEs, expired certificates, out-of-date firmware, environmental drift, and more.​

Integration with Enterprise Systems

Seamlessly integrate with platforms like ServiceNow and Check Point for automated ticketing, workflow management, and centralized control over all xIoT devices.
