Harvey Nichols Leading The Way With It's Security

Harvey Nichols is one of the UK’s leading retailers of high quality and luxury goods, fashion, lifestyle and fine dining. With seven UK & Ireland stores, two stand-alone restaurants and five international locations, it is an internationally-recognized company delivering the world’s most prestigious brands to its customers.

The biggest security challenge for Harvey Nichols was around compliance of customer cardholder data under the payment industry (PCI) data security standards; other areas of focus included data protection, customer relationship management (CRM) and internal communications such as email and stock control and securing its mobile users.

It is vital for Harvey Nichols to maintain business continuity, keeping the network running and enabling communication to flow between stores, restaurants and suppliers. Harvey Nichols has undertaken a network security project to augment the company’s business and technical requirements. As a result, Harvey Nichols has achieved overall simplicity and consistency throughout its network, and has reduced network management costs whilst streamlining support mechanisms and training requirements. This has been achieved with the help of Juniper Networks’ security portfolio.

Harvey Nichols’ spokesperson will talk about the security challenges of a leading retailer and how they have been resolved. Juniper will attend the session as co speaker.
