E-Commerce Cybersecurity: How to Protect Customer Data and Online Transactions

The e-commerce industry experienced significant growth, as the demand for online sales increased exponentially amid COVID-19. With the decrease in live sales, multiple organizations, which hadn’t prioritized online marketing and sales channels before, understood the importance of e-commerce.

However, organizations became vulnerable right after applying e-commerce tools and practices. E-commerce is, in many ways, about operating sensitive data including personal details and financial information.
