Identity Data and Authorization Intelligence at the Edge

A smiling man holds a shopping bag and a credit card, making a payment on a card reader; beside him is a digital graphic of shopping cart icons connected by circuit lines on a blue background, highlighting Retail Identity Solutions.

Retail environments — especially large, distributed chains — depend on thousands of geographically dispersed stores, each with dozens or hundreds of local systems: POS terminals, kiosks, handheld scanners, smart cameras, IoT sensors, store Wi-Fi, and local employee workstations.

These systems often rely on centralized identity and authorization services hosted in the cloud or corporate data centers. When connectivity drops latency increases, or central IAM systems fail, retail operations are disrupted as transactions stall, staff can’t authenticate, and access policies break down. The impact of downtime results in lost revenue, brand impact, and customer frustration — and is heightened during holiday shopping season.

RadiantOne extends its identity data management and authorization intelligence capabilities to the edge, enabling authorization and identity lookups to continue functioning even when connectivity to headquarters or cloud IAM systems is degraded or unavailable.

Use RadiantOne to:

Ensure operational resilience

where stores remain functional, even during WAN or IAM outages

Improve performance and scalability

by offloading authentication and authorization requests from central systems and scaling horizontally across thousands of retail locations

Ensure data security

where each store only holds identity data relevant to its local operation, supporting compliance with data residency and least-privilege principles, and ensuring that stale or inactive accounts are automatically removed via synchronization logic

Simplify integration

by acting as a bridge between legacy POS and modern cloud IAM, abstracting complexity for IT teams

Reduce identity-related risks

by correlating in-store identity events, detecting anomalies such as shared POS logins or after-hours access, and triggering automated remediations

Identity at the edge keeps business operations functioning and ensures strong security.
