Large Department Store Chain Protects Brand and Sensitive Credit Card and Customer Data With CipherTrust Platform
After a devastating data breach that exposed the credit card data of millions of its customers, a multinational retailer sought to repair its severely damaged reputation by overhauling its data security strategy with Thales' CipherTrust Platform. Here are the results.
What was the main challenge faced by the department store chain?
The retailer struggled with maintaining rigorous data protection standards across hundreds of locations processing millions of transactions annually. They aimed to prevent future breaches by ensuring PCI compliance and protecting credit card data throughout their systems, from stores to back-end processing.
How did the CipherTrust Platform help improve data security?
The CipherTrust Platform was implemented to encrypt credit card data at the point of capture and during transmission to back-end systems. It also ensured that data remained encrypted when stored in databases, thereby improving PCI compliance and protecting sensitive information across multiple systems and locations.
What additional benefits did the retailer gain from the implementation?
The successful implementation for credit card data protection allowed the retailer to expand their security measures to include personally identifiable information (PII). This shift enabled a scalable approach to data-centric security, facilitating migration to new platforms and enhancing overall data protection.
