We already have vulnerability management tools. Why should we add Nipper solutions?

Vulnerability management is well-suited to devices with relatively static configurations like servers and endpoints. But network devices are highly configurable, so benefit from Nipper technology’s in-depth analysis to spot misconfigurations and align these to the latest tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by ransomware groups targeting retail.

We use policy management for all our applications. Why should we add Nipper solutions?

Policy management solutions check whether retail network security policies are being correctly followed, but don’t analyze whether devices themselves are secure. A device could be correctly enforcing application connectivity policy, but if it was compromised by a weak password, all customer data passing between applications would be vulnerable. Nipper solutions address this.

How does AI change the threat landscape for retailers?

AI has yet to create new attack vectors: what’s changed is the speed and scale of attacks. Ransomware groups targeting retail are applying AI to exploit exposures across flat networks far faster – attacking multiple points including customer data at the same time.

How do Nipper solutions help with Zero Trust?

Nipper OmniSight provides Zero Trust segmentation and least privilege access monitoring for business-critical segments, confirming whether devices are correctly enforcing access controls for e.g. the cardholder data environment. By combining this with pre-emptive exposure assessment Nipper OmniSight can provide a real-time, adversary-aware picture of how resilient your network is.

Why is effective segmentation so important to reduce risk?

Segmentation is fundamental to resilience because it breaks a complex environment into clearly defined zones (e.g., cardholder data environment, stock management.) with explicit, least privilege connectivity between them. This therefore means that even if the perimeter is breached, the attack can be contained.

How do Nipper solutions protect cyber physical systems used in warehousing and logistics?

Our solutions don’t protect autonomous systems like robotics directly; they focus on the networks that support those systems and are making them accessible to outside threats. By pinpointing vulnerabilities in those networks – from misconfigured switches, routers and firewalls to rule conflicts – Nipper solutions help eliminate potential attack paths.

Can Nipper solutions help us map our network?

Yes, both Nipper OmniSight (Integrated) and Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) can create visual representations of the entire retail network, based on the device configurations stored in a CMDB. Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) can also populate a CMDB if you don’t already have one.

We don’t have a CMDB. Can we use Nipper OmniSight?

Yes. You can use the configuration collector in Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) to populate a CMDB with data from across the network. Or you can use Nipper OmniSight (Standalone), which uses the configurations you upload to provide a point-in-time assessment.

No need to rip and replace

Exceptional accuracy to see what others miss

Nipper solutions reveal the configuration-based risks that ransomware groups target, but other tools cannot assess, so do not see.

Adherence to vendor hardening best practices

Our device hardening assessment provides a rapid route to best practice, ensuring devices have been upgraded to vendor recommended standards.

Security beyond the perimeter

Protect against retail data breaches: Nipper solutions go beyond intrusion detection, checking the configuration of routers, switches and firewalls before they’re exposed.

Faster compliance

The pre-built framework for PCI DSS 4.0 reduces compliance assessment times by up to 80% when compared to manual audits.

Zero Trust segmentation assurance

Nipper OmniSight confirms whether devices are correctly enforcing Zero Trust segmentation and least privilege access for business-critical segments like cardholder data environments.

CMDB integration for network resilience

Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) can help compare actual versus planned network change by syncing with your CMDB – strengthening resilience and IT security.

Helps stakeholders clearly understand risk exposure

“One of the key strengths is its ability to map configuration findings against compliance frameworks and security best practices. The reporting is structured, audit-friendly, and helps stakeholders clearly understand risk exposure. The risk-based prioritization is particularly valuable, as it allows us to focus remediation efforts on high-impact issues.”
