In cybersecurity, the quicker you can protect against a threat, the more you minimize adverse impact; or better yet, avoid any disruption at all.
One of the security challenges facing retailers is a complex and fragmented architecture.
A collection of complex security technologies that have built up over time and are separate from networking technologies can lead to slow responses to the latest threats and are prone to human error, as it can require specialist talent to manage.
Retailers also face various in-store connectivity challenges related to the performance of business-critical payment apps, inventory systems, point-of-sale devices, security cameras and IoT devices, and shoppers' Wi-Fi and browsing experiences.
All Cisco security products are powered by Talos and that's no different for Meraki MX. At its core, Meraki MX has an always-on path to Talos, providing undisputed threat intelligence.
Talos is comprised of 250+ of the world's most sought-after threat researchers and scientists analyzing 625 billion web requests every day - which is approximately more than 70 times the number of Google searches processed every day.
They block 20 billion threats daily, 20 times more than any other vendor.
Meraki MX is a full-fledged next-generation firewall that is easy to deploy and scale.
All the latest intelligence from Talos is automatically distributed to millions of Meraki MXs across hundreds of thousands of customers on the Meraki platform to block 98% of all malware - that's 25% more than the industry average.
There's a well-known saying in cybersecurity - the only certainty is change.
From the moment a new threat is discovered by Talos, it takes less than 10 minutes for every Meraki MX customer to automatically be protected using zero infosec resources.
One of the advantages of building Cisco Meraki security on a cloud native platform is that it's designed for change.
As the security landscape and threats inevitably change, Meraki security can easily adapt to keep retailers' stores, assets, and customers protected.
As the latest threats become ever more sophisticated, acting across multiple vectors, Cisco Meraki security is integrating with Cisco XDR. This will allow retailers to quickly thwart sophisticated multi-vector attacks, with machine learning rapidly correlating and contextualizing mountains of network-wide telemetry data and AI instantly suggesting remediation.
With hybrid work and users being more distributed than ever, the Cisco Meraki platform added Cisco Secure Connect to protect users wherever they are.
Definitely experiences - especially ones that add convenience through a personalized shopping experience.
This includes thoughtful and well-timed suggestions, continuity in online and in-store shopping as well as shipping, and more.
For retailers, cybersecurity protection will be a priority as threats inevitably increase and become more sophisticated.
