Regulatory Challenges
Since almost all of the companies in the retail and hospitality industry rely heavily on credit card and debit card transactions, maintaining compliance with PCI (Payment Card Industry) Data Security Standards is not only required but good security practice. The PCI data security principles and standards revolve around protection of customer data (personal and financial) which involves a strong network and firewall design, VPN for transmission encryption, integrity monitoring with active virus/spam detection, audit capability and more.
Endian Solution
Endian’s network security solutions can provide transparent protections that help mitigate the risks associated with PCI compliance. The Endian UTM platform can securely connect geographically disperse retail and hospitality companies while offering a low TCO and a minimal learning curve.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) – The ability to securely connect all of the remote retail or branch locations and provide encrypted connectivity to protect sensitive customer information is not only key to survival but success as well. Endian can also offer multiple flavors of VPN (IPSec and SSL) to meet any interoperability requirements. This means you get industry-grade encryption (128-bit and higher) on branch office and remote user access so you can be assured any sensitive information is adequately protected from unauthorized or inappropriate access.
Web & Mail Security – Endian’s integrated Web and e-mail security provides transparent gateway filtering and protection from Internet threats like viruses, Trojans, phishing attacks, and spam.

So organizations don’t have to mess with building or managing intra-network security and can focus on more important business priorities. The Endian platform also provides intuitive and powerful firewall capability to ensure only the appropriate data is flowing in and out of your network.
Logging / Audit Capability – All of the Endian security functions can be setup to log critical security information with a single click. Whether it is Web filtering, intrusion detection, management or VPN access, or anything else, Endian can log it all.
