The red flags compromising retail security [video]

The number of IoT devices used in retail has increased dramatically in recent years, especially as the desire for digital and touchless solutions reached peak demand during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Retailers have accelerated their digital transformation deployments at record pace. However, all too often we see retailers driving IT purchases faster than IT can keep up, leading to unforeseen issues down the road that are overlooked or ignored.

Art Miller, Vice President, Business Development and global head of Retail IoT at Qualcomm Technologies, joined Omni Talk’s latest podcast and LinkedIn Live session with hosts Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga to discuss what to do in the face of this situation and how to ensure unsecure technologies don’t open security holes, which could result in breaches, exposure of customer data, poor customer experiences, and negative reputations.

This podcast conversation highlights impactful takeaways from the conversation in which Art, Chris, and Anne explore how a comprehensive approach to integrated, end-to-end security can lead to more cost-effective solutions; deliver enhanced experiences for customers, associates and operations; and help retailers swiftly adapt to the ever-changing needs of their customers. The conversation will give retail CIOs and CTOs the reasoning and reassurance that they need to have a very candid conversation about security with the rest of the C-Suite.
