RETAIL & HOSPITALITY
Secure every xIoT device across modern retail and hospitality environments
The state of retail & hospitality device security
Expanding infrastructure.
Unprecedented device diversity.
Critical operational and customer risk.
Modern retail, hospitality, and commercial facilities rely on thousands of connected devices — from POS systems and kiosks to digital signage, building systems, and guest services infrastructure.
Traditional security tools lack visibility into these distributed environments — leaving critical systems exposed, unmanaged, and difficult to secure at scale.
84% increase in attacks on xIoT year over year1
30% of xIoT devices were previously unknown
70% of xIoT devices use default passwords
Why retail and hospitality environments are hard to secure
Modern retail, hotels, and commercial facilities rely on a complex mix of customer-facing and operational devices. These assets often fall outside traditional IT visibility, creating blind spots that attackers can exploit.
From distributed locations and third-party managed systems to outdated firmware and weak credentials, security teams struggle to maintain consistent control across every site and device.
Unknown devices
Many connected devices remain invisible to traditional security tools.
Weak credentials
Default and shared passwords increase operational risk.
Vulnerable systems
Outdated and vulnerable firmware leaves devices exposed to attacks.
Insecure configurations
Misconfigured systems create gaps in both operational and security controls.
Unsupported devices
End-of-life systems introduce long-term risk across distributed locations.
Expired certificates
Expired or self-signed certificates can disrupt critical services & transactions.
