FAQ

Food service and retail environments rely on real-time digital interactions at every level—payment processing, supply chain visibility, and customer engagement. These systems are increasingly under threat:
Locking down POS systems, kitchen display units (KDS), or ordering kiosks
Campaigns targeting store managers, HR, IT helpdesks, or finance teams
Involving customer loyalty programs, gift card platforms, or e-commerce payment gateways
In mobile ordering apps, cloud-based inventory systems, or third-party delivery APIs
In self-checkout platforms, POS integrations, or marketing automation tools
Networks enabling attackers to move from office Wi-Fi to retail terminals
