As the nation’s largest family-owned retailer, Belk took on the challenge to transform its security posture by introducing an extensive Card Data Protection Program. In less than six months, Belk stood up a new security team and successfully deployed several information security solutions to protect its card processing system, network perimeter and significantly enhance the store’s controlled environment. Belk successfully implemented these critical changes without experiencing a single store outage, and in the process, was capable of achieving PCI and SOX compliance. Additionally, the program established a detailed security awareness strategy across all 300 store locations emphasizing security as one of the businesses top priorities.

Brown-Forman launched the Identity Management project in order to support the company’s rapid global expansion into new countries and the need to provision entitlements and identities to new users. The goals of the project were to deliver efficiencies in security administration due to centralized identities and entitlements; obtain complete visibility into all active users within all systems, achieve improvements to security processes and controls through automated and uniform process repetition; reduce costs associated with processing entitlement requests; and significantly reduce SLAs due to self-service entitlement provisioning.
