Immersive Journey

In retail, AI knows what your customers want, sometimes before they do. But who’s watching what AI’s doing?

While AI helps retailers decode buying behavior and drive operational efficiency, it also opens the door to complex security risks. Threats like prompt injection, data manipulation, and black-box models make it difficult to trace errors or audit decisions. Weak anonymization and biased outputs further raise concerns around compliance and customer trust, making security not just a tech issue, but a business-critical one.

Our client, a global retail leader, faced numerous security challenges in scaling AI. Their security infrastructure was unable to identify or eliminate attack surfaces across both backend and frontend systems. Compounding the issue, their payment flows, proprietary algorithms, and customer data were vulnerable. And, finally, their compliance goals resulted in downtime rather than meeting industry-specific standards.

Our client needed tailored security strategies, advanced detection systems, and a resilient team to support their fight against sophisticated and personalized potential threats.

Bosch SDS in action

To ensure the client captured maximum value from AI free from potential risks, Bosch SDS deployed multi-faceted risk-management solutions that were fine-tuned for the retail space.
Our security framework allowed the client to uphold regulatory compliance, safeguard against data breaches, and embed ethical practices across the organization. This helped the client mitigate risks while also unlocking benefits.

Adapted industry-standard security frameworks like OWASP Top 10 for LLMs and MITRE ATLAS to address the unique challenges of AI applications in e-commerce.
Introduced secure API gateways to control access and shield critical inventory systems from unauthorized interference.
Established end-to-end encryption to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive customer data and payment transactions.
Reinforced user authentication and token validation security using JWT and additional frontend protections.
