E-commerce
Protect online stores, payment flows, and shopper data.
Overview
Online stores face carding, credential stuffing, and DDoS alongside legitimate peak traffic during campaigns. Short disruption can create significant revenue loss.
Security should focus on checkout, inventory/price APIs, user accounts, and the content-delivery edge. WAF, rate limits, and business-logic testing are priorities.
Common risks
- Carding and account abuse
- Attacks on checkout and APIs
- DDoS during campaigns
Key controls
- WAF and rate limits on login and checkout
- Pentesting cart and coupon business logic
- DDoS protection for sales campaigns
- Credential-stuffing and bot-abuse detection
- Minimizing retention of payment data
Compliance
- Meeting shopper data-protection expectations and secure payment-channel practices with gateways.
