Cyberattacks are increasing every year, yet nearly half of B2B companies lack adequate protection for their digital business. In this article, we outline the five most common threats to B2B e-commerce – and how to defend yourself effectively.
- Theft of customer data and personal information
Customer data is highly valuable – which makes it one of the top targets for attacks. Protect it with strong encryption, secure authentication, and regular security audits. A CDN and WAF are essential protection layers for your digital applications. - Malware and ransomware
Malicious code can disrupt your business and cause severe financial losses. Protect your systems by keeping them updated and make sure all backups are secure and stored separately from production. - Phishing attacks
People are often the weakest link. Educate employees about phishing, use email filters, and verify suspicious requests before anyone clicks. Everyone must have up-to-date antivirus protection. - DDoS attacks
Distributed denial-of-service attacks can bring your entire site down. The solution? Use a CDN with DDoS protection and review routines together with your system providers in case of an attack. - Security gaps in the supply chain
Third-party integrations can be backdoors. Choose secure providers, evaluate integration solutions, and audit your partners regularly.
Cyber threats are many, but with the right strategy, technology, and partners, you can stay ahead. Make sure that you are compliant with relevant laws and regulations that must be followed – for example GDPR, the upcoming Cybersecurity Act, etc. At Litium, we work on security at multiple levels and help our customers protect their digital sales.
