eCommerce Security: Strategies to Defend a Better Digital Experience
4:00 - 5:30PM ET | Virtual
Event Overview
eCommerce businesses are constantly pressured to deliver seamless user experiences – especially during peak traffic periods such as flash sales, holiday promotions or product launches. With an ever-increasing number of customers shopping online, website performance and reliability remain critical in maintaining customer satisfaction and revenue growth.
Yet, in an environment rife with bots, DDoS attacks and fraudulent transactions, any single cyber incident can erode trust and damage reputation, resulting in financial loss and, while in most cases unfair, a virtual egg on the face. Ensuring privacy and protection is essential for building consumer confidence, maintaining brand loyalty and upholding the integrity of an online storefront.
Bottom line: eCommerce security is more critical than ever. But how does one balance eCommerce security with the constant need to improve sales, performance and the seamless user experience?
Among the discussion points:
- Authentication – in a world of fake, stolen and synthetic identities, how does one validate authentic customer transactions without creating friction that turns away legitimate customers?
- Security – with bots and DDoS attacks on one side and customer/business demands on the other, where does one find the appropriate balance between cybersecurity and improved performance?
- AI – how is AI being used to augment attacks on eCommerce sites, and how can these businesses in turn employ AI to bolster their cyber defenses?
