Free webinar: Security Insights from PetSmart

PetSmart Charities’ National Adoption Days kicked off on November 2 and runs through November 22. The retailer has helped over nine million pets find their forever homes through these in-store and virtual events. This effort is just one of the many services that bring people to PetSmart, which is the largest retailer in its niche. The company has over 1,650 stores in multiple countries, a thriving e-commerce presence, and veterinary and boarding services that can be accessed online prior to visiting the location. If you happen to be thinking about PetSmart, you’re probably thinking about adoptions, veterinarians, toys, food, or something else related to your pet.

What you probably aren’t thinking about is the technology that ties all of this together. The systems that enable PetSmart’s growth and diversification are protected with a standard baseline of security and custom security stacks that meet regulatory requirements and use-case needs. PetSmart’s Ryan Adams recently joined us for a webinar to discuss how his IT team has pulled all of this together using Microsoft Azure.
