Cybersecurity for retail and e-commerce
Retail & E-commerce

Your customers trust you with their payment details.

Web skimming, DDoS on peak days and account takeover are daily threats. DEFION protects your webshop, payment data and customer trust.

Sector challenges

What retail and e-commerce face

Availability on peak days

Black Friday, holiday seasons, flash sales: attackers strike with DDoS precisely when your revenue is highest. One hour of downtime can mean hundreds of thousands in lost sales.

Payment data as a target

Credit card numbers, bank details and customer profiles are worth direct money on the dark web. PCI DSS compliance is not optional, and web skimming bypasses many traditional defences.

Complex supply chain of plugins and integrations

E-commerce platforms consist of dozens of third-party plugins, payment modules and marketing tools. Each integration is a potential attack surface.

Threat landscape

The threats you are facing

01

Web skimming (Magecart)

Malicious JavaScript on your checkout page that intercepts payment data. Invisible to customers, often active for months before being discovered.

02

DDoS attacks on peak days

Targeted DDoS attacks that make your webshop unreachable at the moments when your revenue is highest. Sometimes combined with extortion.

03

Account takeover and credential stuffing

Attackers use leaked credentials to take over customer accounts. Stored payment methods, loyalty points and personal data are exploited.

02

DDoS resilience testing

We test your DDoS mitigation under realistic conditions. Know whether your protection holds up before it truly matters.

03

Regulations

Relevant regulations

PCI DSS

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is mandatory for every organisation processing credit card data. Requires regular penetration tests and vulnerability scans.

NIS2

Large retailers and online platforms may fall under NIS2 as important entities. This brings obligations for risk management and incident reporting.

GDPR

Customer data, order history and payment information fall under GDPR. A data breach requires notification within 72 hours and can lead to significant fines.
