Discuss the security issues of B2B e-commerce and how companies address those issues

What will be an ideal response?


The major security threats B2B e-commerce companies face include hackers destroying company records or stealing trade secrets, ensuring authentication and making transactions secure, employees giving unauthorized access to company systems, and systems infected with worms and viruses. Companies use several safety measures to address these problems. Firewalls are combinations of hardware and software that allow only authorized individuals access to company computer systems. Through encryption software, companies scramble messages so that only those with the right decoder "key" can read the message. Such encryption software is used to protect private customer information, such as credit card numbers, from hackers using sniffer programs to intercept and read messages.
