Burlington Coat Factory protects data at point-of-sale.

Burlington Coat Factory has deployed technology from Savant Protection Inc., Nashua, N.H., on its chain-wide network of point-of-sale systems in an effort to further “lockdown” use and procedure, mitigating unauthorized access and misuse.

“The addition of Savant technology helps to lock down computing devices in our retail stores,” says Brad Friedman, chief information officer at Burlington Coat Factory.

Burlington Coat Factory's Information Technology Team deployed Savant after completing rigorous testing. The department is using the technology to harden systems to authorized best practices, policies and procedures in all transactional- and customer-related processes.

“Burlington Coat Factory's adoption of our technology will hopefully provide significantly greater exposure of our robust technology to the marketplace,” says Ken Steinberg, president, CTO and founder of Savant Protection Inc.

Savant technology makes computing systems impervious to the injection and spread of malicious applications, scripts or changes to a system's existing soft infrastructure by providing unique cryptographic signatures to the approved application set on each host system.
