What are the best practices for securing IoT devices in supply chain management?

Retail IoT systems need segmentation to partition different parts of the network, isolating critical transaction data from potentially vulnerable areas. This segmentation helps contain security breaches and limit the impact of a potential attack. Additionally, endpoint protection is essential to secure individual devices that are connected to the network, ensuring they have updated security measures, such as anti-malware software, encryption, and strong authentication protocols in place. Implementing both segmentation and endpoint protection is crucial for safeguarding sensitive transaction data in retail IoT environments.
