Managing X-commerce: The importance of a security-based architecture when preparing for E-Commerce

✦ Synopsis

This means an organization needs to be able to have a single overall view of its security so that one clear security strategy drives everything. This guards against unwarranted revenue threats.

The centre of this strategy needs to be a security 'architecture' upon which all sales channels operate.

Rather than merely fitting good stout locks to new commerce applications as they come along, security needs to become wholly effective across all sales channels and all areas of business operations. This unilateral security requirement has been brought into sharp focus by the emergence of the term 'X-commerce', and the development of business strategies that embrace multiple sales methods, such as E-commerce, I-commerce, M-commerce and so on.

In practice, however, most companies tend to continue to regard security in isolation, addressing issues on a case-by-case basis rather than applying one holistic view.
