- 2. E-COMMERCE E-commerce or electronic commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet. It is a rapidly growing industry that has revolutionized the way businesses operate. However, with the increase in online transactions, the risk of cyber attacks has also increased. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that e-commerce transactions are secure and protected from unauthorized access. Elements of E-Commerce security E-commerce security involves safeguarding online transactions and protecting sensitive information during online purchases. Here are some key elements:
- 3. 1. Encryption: Encrypting data ensures that sensitive information like credit card details, personal information, and transaction data is encoded during transmission. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols are commonly used to encrypt data. 2. Secure Payment Gateways: Using trusted and secure payment gateways ensures that financial information is transmitted securely between the customer, merchant, and financial institutions. 3. Firewalls and Security Software: Implementing firewalls and up-to-date security software helps prevent unauthorized access to the e-commerce website’s network. This includes protection against malware, viruses, and other cyber threats.
- 4. 5. Regular Updates and Patch Management: Ensuring that the e-commerce platform and all associated software are regularly updated with the latest security patches helps mitigate vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attacker. 6. Data Privacy and Compliance: Adhering to data privacy regulations (such as GDPR, CCPA) and implementing privacy policies that protect customer data is crucial. This includes proper handling and storage of personal information. 7. Risk Assessment and Monitoring: Conducting regular security audits and risk assessments helps identify potential vulnerabilities and threats. Continuous monitoring of systems for
- 5. 8. Customer Education: Educating customers about safe online practices, such as creating strong passwords, avoiding public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions, and being cautious of phishing attempts, can significantly enhance overall e-commerce security. 9. Physical Security Measures: Ensuring physical security of servers and data centers where customer information is stored is essential to prevent unauthorized access to hardware and infrastructure. 10.Backup and Disaster Recovery: Implementing robust backup and disaster
- 6. CYBERSECURITYBEST PRACTICES Cyber security is the practice of protecting your devices, networks, and data from unauthorized access, theft, or damage. Cyber security best practices are the guidelines and recommendations that can help you improve your cyber security posture and reduce the risks of cyber attacks. Some of the common cyber security best practices are: • Use strong and unique passwords for your accounts and devices, and change them regularly. You can use a password manager to store and generate your passwords securely.
- 7. • Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever possible, especially for your sensitive or critical accounts. MFA adds an extra layer of verification, such as a code sent to your phone or email, to prevent unauthorized access. • Update your software and firmware regularly, as they may contain security patches and bug fixes that can protect you from known vulnerabilities and exploits. • Install and use a reputable antivirus and firewall software on your devices, and scan them regularly for malware and viruses. You can also use a VPN (virtual private network) to encrypt your online traffic and hide your IP address.
- 8. • Avoid clicking on suspicious links or attachments in emails, messages, or websites, as they may contain phishing scams or malware. You can check the URL or sender of the email before opening it, and look for signs of spoofing or impersonation. • Backup your data regularly, either on an external hard drive or a cloud service, to prevent data loss in case of a ransomware attack, device failure, or theft. You can also encrypt your data to make it unreadable to unauthorized parties. • Educate yourself and your team on the latest cyber security threats and trends, and how to recognize and prevent them. You can also conduct regular cyber security
- 9. CLASSIFICATION OF CYBER SECURITY… Cybercrime is a criminal activity that either targets or uses a computer, a computer network, or a networked device. It can be committed by cybercriminals or hackers who want to make money, damage computers or networks, or access information. Typesof cybercrime.. • Phishing: Phishing is a type of cyber crime that involves sending fraudulent emails or messages to trick users into revealing sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, and social security numbers. For example, a user might receive an email that appears to be from their bank, asking them to update their account information by clicking on a link. The link takes the user to a fake website that looks like the bank’s website, where they are prompted to enter their login
- 10. Identity theft: Identity theft is a type of personal data fraud that involves stealing someone’s identity and using it for financial gain. For example, a cyber criminal might use a user’s stolen identity to open a credit card account in their name and make fraudulent purchases. Denial-of-service attack: A denial-of-service (DoS) attack is a type of cyber crime that involves overwhelming a server with traffic to make it unavailable to users. For example, a cyber criminal might use a botnet to send a large number of requests to a website’s server, causing it to crash and become unavailable to users. Ransomware: Ransomware is a type of data hostage-taking that involves encrypting a user’s files and demanding payment in exchange for the decryption key. For example, a user might download a file that appears to be a legitimate software update, but is actuallyransomware that encrypts their
- 11. Automotive hacking: Automotive hacking is a type of vehicle control hijacking that involves taking control of a vehicle’s systems remotely. For example, a cyber criminal might use a vulnerability in a car’s software to take control of the vehicle’s brakes, steering, or other systems. Hacking: Hacking is a type of unauthorized system access that involves gaining access to a computer system without permission. For example, a cyber criminal might use a vulnerability in a company’s network to gain access to sensitive data or cause damage to the network. Malware: Malware is a type of malicious software that infects a computer system and causes damage to the device or steals sensitive information. For example, a user might download a file that appears to be a legitimate software update, but is actually malware that installs itself on the user’s computer and steals their personal data.
