Navy Exchange Service Command

The Navy Exchange Service Command runs a global retail and hospitality operation - Navy Exchange stores, Navy Lodge, and Navy Gateway Inns & Suites - across naval installations worldwide. The attack surface is sprawling: point-of-sale systems, inventory and supply chain logistics, customer payment data, and reservation platforms spanning dozens of countries. Every transaction, from tax-free purchases to lodging bookings, is a node that needs defending.

Since 1946, NEXCOM has returned nearly $3.7 billion in earnings to Sailors through Navy MWR programs, which means the revenue and financial systems underpinning that pipeline are mission-critical infrastructure, not just back-office accounting. Customer data, payment processing, and the integrity of pricing and inventory systems all sit within scope. The threat model here blends retail-sector risks - PCI compliance, skimming, credential theft - with the heightened targeting profile that comes with serving the U.S. military community.

Security operations would need to cover endpoints across global retail formats and hospitality properties, secure supply chain and logistics platforms, and maintain compliance with federal and Department of Defense standards. The work is concrete: protecting systems that handle real money, real PII, and real operational data at the intersection of commerce and defense.
