Why e-commerce security matters
E-commerce has revolutionised the way we shop, but it has also opened up new avenues for cybercriminals. With the rise of online shopping, the need for robust security measures has never been more critical. According to a report by Cybersecurity Ventures, cybercrime damages will cost the world $6 trillion annually by 2021. This staggering figure highlights the importance of securing e-commerce platforms.
We, here at iWeb, understand the gravity of e-commerce security. Our talented UK team is dedicated to ensuring that your online store is not just functional but also secure. With our expertise in Adobe Commerce and Magento Development, we provide comprehensive security solutions tailored to your needs.
Common vulnerabilities in e-commerce platforms
E-commerce platforms are often targeted by cybercriminals due to the valuable data they hold. Common vulnerabilities include SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure payment gateways. SQL injection allows attackers to manipulate the database, while XSS can be used to steal user information. Insecure payment gateways can lead to financial fraud.
Our expert developers at iWeb are well-versed in identifying and mitigating these vulnerabilities. We employ advanced techniques to ensure that your platform is secure from these common threats. With our track record in e-commerce, you can trust us to safeguard your online store.
The role of penetration testing in e-commerce security
Penetration testing, or pen testing, is a crucial aspect of e-commerce security. It involves simulating cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities in your system. This proactive approach helps in discovering weaknesses before cybercriminals can exploit them. According to a study by IBM, companies that conduct regular pen tests are 50% less likely to experience a data breach.
The team at iWeb conducts thorough penetration testing to ensure your e-commerce platform is secure. Our talented in-house team uses state-of-the-art tools and techniques to simulate real-world attacks. This helps in identifying and fixing vulnerabilities, ensuring your platform remains secure.
Vulnerability scanning: An essential tool for e-commerce security
Vulnerability scanning is another critical component of e-commerce security. Unlike penetration testing, which is manual and time-consuming, vulnerability scanning is automated. It scans your system for known vulnerabilities and provides a report on potential risks. This allows for quick identification and remediation of security issues.
Our talented team at iWeb employs advanced vulnerability scanning tools to keep your e-commerce platform secure. We provide detailed reports and actionable insights to help you address any vulnerabilities. With our expertise in Magento and Adobe Commerce, we ensure your platform is always up-to-date and secure.
Integrating security measures into your e-commerce platform
Integrating security measures into your e-commerce platform is not just about adding a few plugins. It requires a comprehensive approach that includes secure coding practices, regular updates, and continuous monitoring. According to a report by Symantec, 60% of small businesses that suffer a cyberattack go out of business within six months. This underscores the importance of robust security measures.
At iWeb, we integrate security into every aspect of your e-commerce platform. From secure coding practices to regular updates, our talented UK team ensures that your platform is always protected. With our expertise in ERP integration and Akeneo PIM, we provide end-to-end security solutions tailored to your needs.
