Jockey
Kenosha, Wisconsin, US
Jockey is a 148-year-old American apparel manufacturer - the brand behind one of the most recognizable names in underwear, activewear, and sleepwear. The company's attack surface isn't exotic: it's a global retail operation spanning more than 140 countries, with all the attendant risks around payment card data, customer PII at scale, supply chain integrity, and e-commerce infrastructure that any multi-national retailer faces. Headquartered in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Jockey remains family-owned and manufactures domestically as part of its Made in America collection. That dual identity - legacy brand with modern global distribution - creates a security environment where legacy systems and contemporary cloud architectures likely coexist, a familiar tension for defenders in retail. The company's stated mission centers on caring for customers, employees, and communities, with various charitable initiatives and a reported commitment to a supportive workplace culture. For security practitioners, the draw here is the scope of the problem: protecting a household-name brand's digital infrastructure across a sprawling international footprint without the resources or visibility of a tech-native organization. The threat model is commercial - credential stuffing, Magecart-style skimming, supply chain compromise, insider risk - not nation-state. That's retail security in its most honest form.
