As online retailers prepare for the holiday shopping season amidst a surge in e-commerce due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of cybercrime also increases, prompting security experts to advise enhancing website security to protect against potential attacks. With U.S. online sales expected to reach $1.013 trillion in the last two months of 2020, the importance of securing eCommerce platforms is underscored by Europol's #SellSafe campaign, which focuses on retailers. Key recommendations include upgrading software, installing security patches, fixing web server misconfigurations, and scanning for vulnerabilities across the entire attack surface. Detectify emphasizes the necessity of these measures, likening them to "winterizing" a home, to prevent security breaches that could derail holiday sales. The company offers tools to automate vulnerability detection and monitoring, helping retailers secure their websites against a range of threats, including outdated software and misconfigured assets, in preparation for the anticipated increase in online shopping traffic.
