Retail and Hospitality

Protect sensitive customer data

The Retail and Hospitality industry face tremendous pressure to protect personal information like credit card numbers, social security numbers, PINs, as well as sensitive company information that can be used or sold to the highest bidders. Recent highly publicized attacks have revealed that well-organized hackers are targeting organizations in the retail and hospitality industry for the confidential customer information they transmit, process and store.


In many cases, the breaches have resulted in the disclosure of hundreds of thousands of credit card numbers and other personal information used for identity theft. After a breach, companies experience significant financial losses due to fines, lawsuits and reputation damage.

Tripwire’s power combination of file integrity monitoring, configuration control and log management solutions provides IT security and compliance automation to protect confidential information and helps ensure data centers and stores are continuously compliant. The comprehensive solution helps to maintain a secure IT system by:

  • Continuously assessing configurations, identifying any settings that do not align with the regulatory compliance standards-such as PCI DSS-and immediately alerting if configuration settings are non-compliant or failing.
  • Leveraging industry standards and benchmarks, such as CIS, to proactively assess configurations for PCI DSS compliance across 21 different elements within an infrastructure, including operating systems, network devices, directory servers, databases and applications.
  • Providing remediation guidance of failed tests so compliance can quickly be restored.
  • Generating an audit trail that can be used to prove continuous compliance.
  • Offering store system configuration management at an economical price.
