As customers demand more from the high street, a secure network is critical to adopting cloud apps

Advanced technologies are reshaping the high street. To get the most out of these tools, you need a network that can handle heavy lifting- whilst keeping you protected from rising security threats. Cloud-based networks are the perfect fit, ensuring your AI, IoT, or any other apps you use run smoothly. A robust network infrastructure is crucial for the seamless operation of your business to deliver the very best customer experience while taking care of your staff and your loss prevention strategy.

  • Protect yourself against downtime

    Ever faced a network crash during peak hours? Stats show that 75% of high street businesses have been there, leading to lost sales and frustrated customers. A cloud-based network with built-in proactive monitoring is more reliable, meaning fewer outages and happier customers.

  • Always agile

    A cloud-based network keeps you agile allowing you to open stores without lengthy lead times while dynamically allocating bandwidth to essential applications. This adaptability is crucial as the addition of cloud-based applications increases network strain, demanding effective management to maintain smooth operations both in-store and online.

  • One network, one expert contact

    Managing a network can be a headache, especially with all the third-party apps relying on its uptime and bandwidth. A managed service provider (MSP) takes a load off your mind and to-do list, with experts handling the tricky aspects of your network infrastructure. This partnership is the backbone of your high street transformation.

  • Secure your connected stores

    As your stores become more connected with devices, apps, and customer data moving through your network, they also become more vulnerable targets for cyber threats. To keep pace, you need a cloud-based network with built-in protection, backed by human-led threat response and recovery from Gamma Managed Detection & Response. This gives you the visibility and speed to act when it matters most, keeping your store running and customers protected.

Protecting your connected high street environment

As high street retailers embrace cloud technologies, connected devices, and data-driven applications, the threat landscape is evolving just as fast. These evolving threats have exposed the operational and financial risks of unsecured networks, from lost sales and customer trust to disrupted store operations.

In this environment, security must evolve alongside connectivity.

Built-in security with SASE

The high street needs more than firewalls. They need security built into their networks and across all their connected devices. That’s where the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) framework comes in, combining network performance and security into one cloud-delivered solution. With SASE, you can ensure secure access to cloud apps, IoT devices, and in-store systems from anywhere, without compromising performance.

Implementing SASE can be a game-changer in retailers’ operations. Some of its main benefits are:

  • Scales with the organisation’s digital transformation
  • Ensures secure access across locations and devices, including a distributed IoT network
  • Reduces management complexity with integrated networking and security
