You move at the speed of the consumers you serve. Any downtime means missing out on revenue opportunities and potentially losing customers for good. Multiple moving parts plus talent gaps and turnover is driving automation. Consumers expect retailers to take precautions and incorporate methods of defense in preventing breaches on their behalf.
That’s why we designed Keyfactor Command – covering all certificates and keys issued inside or outside of your organization, giving you the freedom to secure your entire business while complying with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

The development and deployment of EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) chip cards is a powerful step in protecting consumers from the loss of their private information and helps retailers reduce the cost of fraud. But inadequate and antiquated infrastructure and processes including network security, weak passwords, unpatched technology and malware remain in place for many retailers. Hackers will always continue to advance their strategies and tactics, finding new methods for denial-of-service attacks and mimicking customer behavior. Mobile usage through open networks across stores, distribution centers and even retail employees present ongoing vulnerabilities. Add in account takeover schemes plus return and refund fraud, and retailers have a constant and complex threat on their hands.
A $2.63B leader in the motion picture exhibition industry was interested in developing their own internal Certificate Authority (CA). With close to 500 theaters and almost 6000 screens across the US and Latin America, they chose Keyfactor to identify the technology, policies and enterprise security processes required to protect and secure multi-location communications across thousands of POS and company-owned computers.
By developing their internal CA and managing the offsite hosting, Keyfactor built the consumer security mechanisms necessary to meet POS demands and PCI DSS compliance. Today they also rely on Keyfactor for certificate monitoring and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) publishing. Outsourcing the management of this certificate program to the Keyfactor experts allowed the theater company to balance costs, time and staff across additional critical IT projects.
