Earlier this year we were shortlisted for a prestige award at Fraud Awards 2017, presented by Retail Risk. Judges had selected Foregenix as a potential for Best Newcomer with the flagship product FGX-Web. Not long after proceedings began, we came highly commended by none other than the organiser of the event, Paul Bessant.
Recently, it was discovered that over 14 million Verizon customers data, including PIN’s, had been exposed on an unprotected web server. Three million WWE fan’s personal information was left exposed when it was discovered to be on an unprotected web server. Both of these took place in the same month. It happens more often than you’d think and the solution can be as simple as talking to your hosting provider.
Let’s say that someone approaches you on the street one day.
They point to a busy shop across the street, and they say to you, “That’s my store, and we’re having our best year ever!”
The shop is full of excited people. You step back outside, and the shopkeeper asks you a question: “What do you think I need to do to keep this place safe?”
Major corporations spend hundreds of thousands of pounds and in some cases employ teams of people dedicated to manage and ensure the security of their environment. But as a small eCommerce merchant, who is responsible for the security of your environment? In most cases, small eCommerce businesses elect to outsource all of their website’s development to professionals specialising in eCommerce environments, but should the developers be responsible for the cybersecurity as well as the development and management of the environment?
