eMazzanti Shares Ecommerce Cyber-Security 101 to Protect Small Businesses

HOBOKEN, N.J., Oct. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A NYC area cyber-security consultant and managed services provider (MSP) presents ecommerce cyber-security basics to protect small businesses in a new article on the eMazzanti Technologies website.

The informative article discusses the risks posed by cyber-criminals as they target small business ecommerce websites with increasingly sophisticated malware. According to the author, organizations should employ a multi-layer cyber-security strategy to counter the increasing threats. He urges them to partner with retail cyber-security experts to protect their businesses.

"To protect business assets and sensitive data, organizations need to better understand the ecommerce cyber-security landscape," related Almi Dumi, CISO, eMazzanti Technologies. "They must stay ahead of evolving cyber-threats and develop proactive solutions for modern ecommerce problems."
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Ecommerce Cyber-Security 101 to Protect Your Small Business."

"According to cyber-security firm Kaspersky, 48 percent of small to medium businesses have experienced data breaches this year. That means the exposure of financial and personal data for thousands of customers. And it means a payday for hackers who sell that information on the dark web."

Know the Risks

"Cyber-criminals attack your virtual storefront in a variety of ways. For example, they may insert malware into your website to skim credit card information during the payment process. Or, with stolen contact information, they may impersonate your business and send phishing emails to clients to trick them into revealing sensitive data."

Implement Ecommerce Cyber-Security Best Practices

• "Start with HTTPS/SSL – Indicated by the lock icon in the address bar, this is the internet protocol designed to promote secure internet transactions. In addition to encrypting sensitive information, it can also improve your search engine ranking. Keep in mind that HTTPS represents a starting point and does not provide adequate security on its own."
• "Secure your payment gateway – Choose your payment processor carefully, searching for a provider that provides comprehensive PCI compliance, encryption and regular security scans."
