Case Study: Rent‑A‑Center achieves 24/7 managed cloud security and greater agility with Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Rent-a-Center - Customer Case Study

Rent‑A‑Center, a rent‑to‑own retailer with more than 3,000 stores in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, needed to move to the cloud to gain speed and efficiency while operating with a lean IT staff. At the same time the company had to meet strict Sarbanes‑Oxley and PCI‑DSS Level 1 requirements, so the challenge was adopting cloud services without increasing security or compliance risk.

Rent‑A‑Center adopted Alert Logic from AWS Marketplace for fully managed, 24/7 threat detection, monitoring, and Cloud Insights across its AWS environment. The service reduced security management overhead, provided clear compliance visibility, freed the equivalent of six full‑time security staff to focus on innovation, and enabled a cloud‑first migration that improved agility and customer experience.
