Beyond Compliance: The New Language of Retail Resilience

Cyber threats aren’t evolving, they’re accelerating. 🚨 In this new AiR Podcast episode, Renee Hartmann sits down with Kenneth Ogami, Industry Leader for Retail & Hospitality at Palo Alto Networks, to unpack the new language of retail resilience. Kenneth brings 20+ years of hands-on retail security experience — from securing Westfield’s digital ecosystem to helping luxury brand Amiri scale securely through hypergrowth. His message is clear: compliance is no longer enough - resilience is the strategy. Key takeaways: - The retail attack surface has expanded dramatically across omnichannel, IoT, and connected store ecosystems. - AI is accelerating threats through deepfakes, automated fraud, and sophisticated social engineering. - Zero Trust is emerging as a business enabler — reducing risk while simplifying operations. - Fragmented security stacks are holding retailers back; unified visibility is now essential. - AI agents are reshaping future operations, requiring new security mindsets and governance. 🎧 Listen now and future-proof your retail organization.
