Entertainment & Retail Network Security Made Easy

Consumers love the convenience of online shopping and retail — and so do cybercriminals. Online retailers and entertainment companies must take steps to keep customer information secure.

Don’t let legacy software put your customers at risk.

Shopping and entertainment have changed in the last 20 years, with e-commerce, digital ticketing platforms, streaming services, and online gaming taking center stage. Traditional brick-and-mortar locations have also seen the benefits of this shift in technology, with in-store sensors and other IoT devices that create customized customer experiences and inventory monitoring.

Unfortunately, the conveniences of these technologies comes with an expanded attack surface — which cybercriminals are eager to exploit through both traditional cyberattacks and other methods of fraud, like promo abuse and account takeovers.

This expanded attack surface along with the rise of cashless payment systems have pushed governments to create stricter regulations for retail and entertainment businesses, including the creation of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which requires companies to build and maintain a secure network.

OpenVPN’s solutions for retail and entertainment can help. Whether through our self-hosted or cloud-delivered VPN solutions, OpenVPN can help you protect your customers and your business while remaining in compliance with regulations like PCI DSS.

OpenVPN: Flexibility for retail & entertainment

Secure, virtualized network
