Preventing Wireless Security Breaches in Retail
The introduction of wireless technologies in retail has created a new avenue for data breaches, circumventing traditional security architectures. Several recently publicized data breaches in the retail industry have exploited wireless vulnerabilities. Attackers have been able to access sensitive information such as credit/debit cards that have resulted in brand damage, financial/regulatory liabilities and disruption of business for retailers.
