Cybersecurity at the Pump: Why It Matters and How DFS Has You Covered
Published on May 14, 2025

In a world where everything is connected, cybersecurity isn’t just a concern for IT teams —it’s a business priority. For fuel retailers, where transactions are nonstop and uptime is everything, even a brief cyber incident can lead to lost revenue, shaken customer trust and potential regulatory headaches.

At Dover Fueling Solutions® (DFS), we understand these risks—and we’re here to help you stay ahead of them. Our comprehensive cybersecurity strategy is embedded across both enterprise infrastructure and product development, protecting customer operations and enabling seamless, secure experiences.

As a global leader in fueling technology, DFS takes a proactive, built-in approach to cybersecurity. That means security is not an add-on or afterthought—it’s integrated into everything we create, from payment terminals and point of sale (POS) systems to cloud-based services and IoT monitoring tools. Our goal is simple: to help convenience stores and fuel retailers operate with confidence in a digital-first world.

Our “secure by design” approach ensures that products are developed with security in mind from day one. We use advanced tools like threat modeling and penetration testing, and we align with key global standards such as PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type 2, and IEC 62443 to meet rigorous compliance requirements. This commitment not only protects your operations but helps ensure you’re aligned with evolving industry regulations.

Behind the scenes, our Security Operations Center (SOC) monitors activity 24/7, providing real-time threat detection and response. In 2024 alone, our team prevented thousands of attempted cyberattacks—saving our customers from costly downtime and potential data breaches.

The best part? Our enterprise-grade protection comes standard with all DFS solutions. There are no extra fees or complicated upgrades—just powerful, reliable security that helps reduce fraud, improve insurance terms and strengthen your brand’s reputation.

In today’s fast-moving digital landscape, fuel retailers need more than just innovative technology—they need a trusted partner committed to long-term security. That’s exactly what DFS delivers. DFS drives innovation with security built in, so you can focus on running your business.
