POS (Point-of-Sale) Intrusions
Retail and hospitality environments must utilize best-in-class network security technologies to not only protect and monitor their payment systems, but to also separate the network used for payment transactions from guest networks and all other information systems. Also, as the target of many dedicated attacks, retail and hospitality businesses must employ solutions for protecting their POS systems from advanced and zero day malware threats. WatchGuard’s Total Security Suite combines multiple security services to deliver powerful, layered protection from malicious POS software. Learn more >
PCI Compliance
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a widely accepted set of policies intended to secure credit, debit, and cash card transactions and protect cardholders against misuse of their personal information. This standard can be achieved leveraging WatchGuard Firebox appliances – which provide necessary segmentation of network traffic – and WatchGuard Dimension to set alerts and automated reports on compliance related security events like data-leakage, malware, and unauthorized user access.

Secure Wi-Fi Access
Guests expect to quickly connect to a secure network that doesn’t put their personal data at risk. However, retail and hospitality businesses that choose to offer guest Wi-Fi access must address the security implications, including the segmentation of guest networks from corporate networks. An access point allows for a secure and fast Wi-Fi connection, and can be easily managed within the WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud platform. Additionally, a Firebox can be deployed to protect against targeted and opportunistic attacks, with WIPS enabled to defend against wireless threats. Learn more >
