This study explores the challenge of cyber security threats that e-commerce technology and business are facing. Technology applications for e-commerce are attracting attention from both academia and industry. It has made what was not possible before for the business community and consumers. But it did not come all alone but has brought some challenges, and cyber security challenge is one of them. Cyber security concerns have many forms, but this study focuses on social engineering, denial of services, malware, and attacks on personal data. Firms worldwide spend a lot on addressing cybersecurity issues, which grow each year. However, it seems complicated to overcome the challenge because the attackers continuously search for new vulnerabilities in humans, organizations, and technology. This paper is based on the conceptual analysis of social engineering, denial of services, malware, and attacks on personal data. We argue that implementing modern technology for e-commerce and cybersecurity issues is a never-ending game of cat and mouse. To reduce risks, reliable technology is needed, training of employees and consumer is necessary for using the technology, and a strong policy and regulation is needed at the firm and governmental level.
本研究探讨了电子商务技术和业务所面临的网络安全威胁挑战。电子商务的技术应用正吸引着学术界和业界的关注。它为商业界和消费者带来了以前不可能实现的事情。但它并非独自到来，而是带来了一些挑战，网络安全挑战就是其中之一。网络安全问题有多种形式，但本研究聚焦于社会工程、拒绝服务、恶意软件以及对个人数据的攻击。全球企业在解决网络安全问题上投入巨大，且此类问题逐年增加。然而，克服这一挑战似乎很复杂，因为攻击者不断在人类、组织和技术中寻找新的漏洞。本文基于对社会工程、拒绝服务、恶意软件以及对个人数据攻击的概念分析。我们认为，针对电子商务和网络安全问题实施现代技术是一场永无休止的猫捉老鼠游戏。为降低风险，需要可靠的技术，对员工和消费者进行技术使用培训是必要的，并且在企业和政府层面需要强有力的政策和监管。
