EarthLink Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: ELNK), a leading managed network and cloud solutions provider for multi-location businesses including hundreds of national retailers, today launched EarthLink Secure Storefront™, a new suite of managed security, network and IT services tailored for the rapidly-evolving retail environment. Secure Storefront helps retailers protect against threats, maintain PCI compliance, connect with mobile customers, and capture business intelligence to support revenue growth.

With Secure Storefront, retailers can:

Identify and manage threats, starting with a professional service assessment to establish a security baseline and continuing with managed security services for ongoing monitoring.
Connect with customers through secure WiFi to differentiate the in-store experience and capture intelligence on shopping behaviors and preferences.
Verify PCI compliance with assessments to identify gaps, tools to maintain compliance, and financial breach protection.
Safeguard the security of transactions and data with managed security monitoring service, direct connections to card payment processers, PCI-compliant firewalls and endpoint management.
"Building on more than 20 years of experience protecting customers, EarthLink developed Secure Storefront to address the need for retailers to deliver a secure and compelling customer experience," said Peter Chronis, EarthLink Chief Security Officer. "Retail IT leaders are challenged with meeting radically changing customer buying behaviors and security threats. Secure Storefront helps them keep up with evolving threats, connect with customers in ways that increase store revenue and provide their executive and marketing teams with actionable, valuable customer insights and business intelligence not previously available."
