Descrizione Qualitative study on transitioning E-Commerce
The first decade of the new millennium finds £-Commerce a rapidly growing and evolving part of the world economy (Laudon & Traver, 2008). £ Commerce is the process of exchanging goods and services using the Internet as a medium to conduct business for profit. Where the Internet has grown and flourished, £-Commerce has closely followed. As a topic of study, £-Commerce has fascinated and frustrated both academics and business people alike. Since SecurityEnsure was a security company, the facet oflnternet technology that it was focused on was making web sites safe from intruders wishing to harm the web site in some way. Internet developers from the technology side specialized in the technology to identify vulnerabilities in web sites, and provide solutions to prevent unauthorized users from breeching those weaknesses to access private information. For example, ifFacebook.com allowed customers to purchase textbooks online, then credit card information used to pay for the books would be secure. The Internet developers can be thought of as "White Hats," or hackers that work to strengthen rather than attack web sites; while "Black Hats" want to attack a web site.
