The world of commerce is moving from tracking customer acquisition to customer retention as their success metric. Security is critical to achieve that. When the World Economic Forum asked respondents in a recent study which dangers will pose the largest threat to the world over the next two years, cybersecurity failure made it to the top four. After all, when cybersecurity vendors get hacked (FireEye \u2013 SolarWinds), it\u2019s a moment of reckoning for the industry.<\/p>\n
The \u201cSecuring Ecommerce Study\u201d commissioned by PYMNTS.com in May 2021, revealed that 65% of shoppers would desert an ecommerce merchant<\/b> after a single data breach incident, further reiterating the importance of keeping transactions and data safe.<\/p>\n

Retail continues to be a prime target for cyberattacks, making up 20% of all reported incidents in the first half of 2021. In the National Retail Federation\u2019s 2021 Retail Security Survey, 76% of merchants responded saying cybersecurity incidents have become more of a priority in the last 5 years.<\/p>\n
Despite warnings and recommendations, malicious actors continue to exploit zero-day threats in web APIs and popular ecommerce platforms. Best practices around end-to-end security, automation and real-time visibility are critical for every ecommerce business.<\/p>\n

Perform exhaustive application testing covering code, traffic, infrastructure, 3rd party software, and access privileges. Running tests to mimic attacks enable you to gauge your current security posture, assess ongoing risks and find flaws in your defense. Availability of backup files can help a business recover quickly from a cyberattack. Using an alternate location or cloud region is key.<\/p>\n

The traditional WAF is not enough to fight modern cybercrime. Boost your storefront\u2019s security with multiple defense layers \u2013 rate limiting, MFA, bot monitoring, malware scanner, traffic viewer, CSP protection, DDoS shield, intrusion detection, and edge security closer to the end user.<\/p>\n

A fully-featured bot management solution ensures the good bots allow valid traffic to find your site, while keeping out the bad guys more interested in scraping your pricing and data. Traditional hosting providers are \u201cblack boxes\u201d offering little visibility into infrastructure, traffic, and threats. A \u201csingle pane of glass\u201d view helps merchants stay ahead of these threats and be proactive towards security.<\/p>\n
