b Explain five strategies that can be sued by ecommerce business organisations to cushion against security threats.

Answer 1

1.      Use firewalls- firewall software is the most sophisticated security solution on the internet; an organization can use firewalls and plugins that are effective and affordable.

2.      Use SSL to secure websites- Secure service layer (SSL) is a practical approach to increase a layer of security in e-commerce, especially when it comes to securing transactions on various networks

3.      Install latest antivirus and anti-malware- cybercriminals on e-commerce platforms use vulnerabilities in security systems to attack systems; therefore, updating antivirus and anti-malware software helps increase security credibility.

4.      Use multi-layer security system- an organization can use different layers of security such as Content Delivery Network to protect e-commerce systems from DDoS attacks

5.      Train employees and customers about security attacks to help address security issues, report issues and participate in security surveys.
