E-commerce is the activity of buying and selling goods and services online. It involves transactions made on the internet, ranging from retail shopping and auctions to banking services and online ticket bookings.

Information security measures in E-commerce aim to safeguard against threats like hacking, identity theft, and phishing. This includes the implementation of security protocols like SSL/TLS for secure communications, employing encryption to protect data in transit, deploying robust authentication mechanisms to verify user identities, and adhering to compliance standards like PCI-DSS that are designed to protect customer data within payment systems.
E-commerce security also involves regular security audits, monitoring for suspicious activities, and having incident response plans in place to address potential breaches swiftly.
