According to Symantec, the number of data breaches increases yearly. So it is very important to discuss basic security features for eCommerce website needs
After some high-profile data breaches at big companies, the public has started noticing the security of sites. News coverage brought the issue back into the public eye, which is both good and bad for eCommerce operators.
Because, informed users will use good passwords, avoid clicking fraud links and they are more aware of the dangers of the online marketplace. The downside of this is that informed users will look for unsecured sites. They won’t forgive a breach and will move to your competitors if they didn’t feel safe.
