Experts recommend online retailers consider these issues before hitting the busy shopping season to better ensure their security is running smoothly.
PCI Compliance
PCI compliance is a major concern year-round and particularly during the holidays, but as IT security professionals know, audits aren't happening at this time of the year, meaning we should do our due diligence to prep and remain compliant leading up to the shopping season, said Mav Turner, director of Product Marketing and Strategy, Security with SolarWinds. Before the holiday season, online retailers need to ensure that their PCI compliance is up to date because, Turner pointed out, it is already very difficult to identify abnormalities in the system when shopping patterns are anything but normal during the holidays.
