Suppose you have been inducted as IT Consultant (Cyber Security) in a growing E-Commerce driven business. How will you ensure security/privacy for online transactions over the internet while securing customer network/information/credentials?

The question is one of Cyber Security.

To ensure security/privacy for online transaction while securing customer network, information and credentials, the first step is to ensure that:

1. The website itself is hosted with a very secure platform. This can be achieved by:

2. Use Web Application Firewall (WAF)

This is a hardware or software system that allows authorized traffic and blocks unauthorized or potentially malicious access to a network.

3. Ensuring that the website is compliant with PCI DSS requirements

PCI DSS refers to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.

This technology helps to eliminate fraud and secure e-commerce websites.

4. Real-Time Bot Detection Technology

Bots are also used by malicious people to steal information and or vendor data. If the website is enhanced with a Bot Detection Technology, it will help reduce the effects of such.

5. As an e-commerce business, one must force users to use very strong passwords. This may be done a the point of registration. Passwords boxes besides having the regular encryption must be configured to accept only strong passwords.
