Organized theft

Customer experience needs

Reputational concerns

Cybersecurity worries

Organized theft

Retailers need visibility across entrances, sales floors, stockrooms and cash-handling areas to help address shoplifting, smash-and-grab incidents and organized theft.

Customer experience needs

Retail security systems must support visibility without making stores feel restrictive or difficult to navigate.

Reputational concerns

Violence, customer identity theft and supply chain issues following cyberattacks can damage a brand’s reputation. Winning those customers back is a challenge in the competitive retail market.

Cybersecurity worries

Connected retail systems, including point-of-sale platforms, customer relationship management (CRM) tools and inventory software, can create more entry points for cyberattacks and data exposure. Stores may process and handle customer credit card data and other sensitive information digitally, making them targets.
