An era of new threats: Protect your e-business against data theft and manipulation!

The CHALLENGE

600 Euro - according to a study about “E-commerce security” conducted by TNS Infratest, on average consumers won’t pay more than this when making online purchases. The reason: Every third person does not trust the online security.

And this is for a good reason: The times of local data storage are over. User queries access internal company databases resulting in open and easily accessible connections. Online shopping opens doors which known security systems such as firewalls, reverse proxies or IDS/IPS systems can’t keep closed.

Data theft is geared mainly towards personal customer information. At the top of the cyber thieves’ “wish list:” Credit card information. But other personal information, passwords and user names are in demand too since they can be sold for good money.

Unauthorized viewing of internal online store, travel portal or auction platform information is also not desired: Pricing policies, supply sources or secret product information are spied out - possibly with disastrous consequences.

The survival of an online store may be in danger when an attack puts its complete online store software out of commission. During the soccer world cup some betting offices were harassed this way. And this type of digital coercion for ”protection money“ is on the rise - real life fraud is simply relocating into the digital world.
