Securing retail’s digital edge: How SASE protects trust and drives competitive advantage

What’s inside the white paper:

• Why retail breaches are so costly and how to prevent them with a secure digital foundation.
• How to align security, performance, and agility to turn digital transformation into a competitive edge.
• Why legacy infrastructures increase risks, complexity, and costs—and how to eliminate them.
• Key questions to ask SASE vendors to meet modern retail needs
• How Cato SASE Cloud empowers retailers to improve security, simplify management, and ensure fast, reliable connectivity.

Retailers thrive by delivering value, convenience, and trust—the right products, at the right price, at the right time. But legacy networking and security infrastructures undermine these pillars by:

• Creating security gaps that erode trust and put sensitive customer data at risk.
• Causing operational bottlenecks that disrupt convenience and slow performance.
• Driving up costs that eat into value and limit innovation.

Retailers need a modern IT foundation that secures their operations, supports digital transformation, and delivers reliable performance across their ecosystem. SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) provides that foundation—converging networking and security into a single, cloud-native platform to eliminate complexity, enhance security, and support seamless growth.
