Retailers
In retail, digital security usually means protecting what’s visible: e-commerce platforms, point-of-sale systems, and customer payment data. These are your revenue-generating operations, and they rightly attract the most attention from IT and compliance teams.
But behind every store and online transaction is another layer: operational and administrative teams who manage inventory, logistics, finance, and HR; often from locations and networks that your IT team doesn’t fully control.
In these environments, the router and local network may be completely unknown. Firmware is often outdated. Devices share bandwidth with unsecured endpoints. And IT has no way of verifying how that network behaves.
What Can Get Missed
Most retail organizations have secured the front door. But it’s the back entrance that’s often left less well protected.
- Uncontrolled networks introduce risks that are hard to mitigate:
- Patching is inconsistent, even when users are diligent
- Firmware updates often leave known vulnerabilities behind
- Local devices can pose lateral threats to corporate laptops
- Default router settings may expose internal systems
National agencies like the NSA and CISA have highlighted these risks in their guidance on securing edge devices. But for many retailers, the challenge isn’t awareness; it’s practicality.
Securing remote or hybrid operational teams shouldn’t require a full infrastructure rethink. It just needs a way to make their connection trustworthy.
How Loxada Helps
Loxada replaces untrusted local networks with a known, secure device at the edge. Our routers:
- Run Loxada’s hardened firmware (not the manufacturer’s)
- Create an always-on encrypted tunnel back to your systems
- Prevent lateral threats from other local devices
- Automatically apply updates and enforce configuration integrity
They work out of the box. No user setup required. No complex deployment model. Just a clean, secure connection that behaves predictably. Every time.
Designed for the Realities of Retail
Loxada supports retail organizations that:
- Operate admin or regional functions outside core IT environments
- Need to secure systems used for inventory, payroll, or vendor operations
- Have teams working in home, hybrid or multi-use spaces
- Want to reduce risk without increasing IT workload
We don’t replace your existing tools, we strengthen them by securing the network that supports them.
Why This Matters Now
Retail is increasingly decentralized. The people running the business don’t always sit in the same place as the infrastructure built to protect it.
Securing those backend environments isn’t about compliance checkboxes, it’s about continuity.
A misconfigured router or exposed endpoint can impact logistics, payments, and customer trust.
Loxada makes it easy to close that gap.
