Abstract

E-commerce business has been growing rapidly worldwide for enhancing the process of online
shopping trends within the customers. In this case, Cyber security issues have increased the
ratio of cybercrimes that intends to hack the account of customers during the on-going process
of payment after-sales.

This paper provides possible ways and fundamental areas of improving the working processes
as well as managing cyber security issues under legal and ethical compliance.

1. Introduction

Research Background
Data security and information security is the most significant part of the processing
business for long-term prospects. Depending on the basis of the Data Protection Act of a
country, it can be relied upon by implementing data security applications within the business,
especially in E-commerce platforms.

Research Problem
According to the market analysis, it has been observed that due to the growing number
of online transactions, there has been unauthorized access to the profile of the customers
worldwide through some viruses as well as spamming attacks (Ji, 2018). This has created major
issues within the business platforms as well as become a threat to the E-commerce business
owners in the market.

Research Objectives
Based on this above analysis, the objectives of this research would be:-

 To identify the significant type of cyber attacks being faced by the E-commerce leaders
in the market.
 To examine the access points from where cyber attacks occurs in the E-commerce
business platform.
 To provide strategic and operational applications suitable for minimizing the possibility
of cyber threats in business

Research Hypothesis
The research is carried out by considering two hypotheses:

 Hypothesis 1:
 Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no relationship between E-commerce and Secured
Electronic Transaction (SET) when tested through Cloud-based automation test.
  Alternate Hypothesis (H1): There is a relationship between E-commerce and Secured
Electronic Transaction (SET) when tested through Cloud-based automation test.
 Hypothesis 2:
 Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no relationship between Hyper Text-Transfer Protocol
and Secured Electronic Transaction (SET) when tested through Cloud-based automation
test Alternate Hypothesis (H1): There is no relationship between Hyper Text-Transfer
Protocol and Secured Electronic Transaction (SET) when tested through Cloud-based
automation test.

2. Literature Review
Significance of analyzing the cyber security issues and challenges in E-commerce

Cyber Security issues and challenges are important aspects of E-commerce leaders in
the market. According to Tracy (2019), having malicious access to a variety of codes transferring
process, there is a scope of replication of data into the system. On the other hand, Sharma,
Gupta & Khanna, (2019), argued that using the medium of Data Encryption also gives possibility
of getting hacked in an E-commerce business.

Key factors responsible for E-commerce business to have threatened by cyber security issues in
the market

The key factors responsible for E-commerce are the process of online transactions as
well as adding into Cart and providing open scope of entrance to the system. Prisha et al.
(2017), opined that entrance of cyber attackers reduces the power of the system as well as
stops in between. An Operationalized Cyber security theory, includes strategic way of solving
threats and attacks within the cyber world of business for finding solutions covering the cyber,
attacks (Ionita et al., 2019).

The key access security issues occurring for E-commerce Giants in the market in using cloud
computation program:
 According to the article, Khan (2019), E-commerce fears from monetary losses resulting
in terrible exposure as well as break-ins. In other words, in case of E-commerce platforms, it
cannot be accepted with any secondary options or scope of having this work done under
authoritative processes for chance management. In this regard, it can be acknowledged that
users may store data or files that are encrypted and those are vulnerable to machines and
employees while accessing it into machines.

These are mainly the issues with as follows :-

 Unwanted Entrance: Ronchi (2018), stated that this is one such area from where data
can be traced by an unwanted and malignant intention for the purpose of utilizing it in
attacking confidential files. However, passive unauthorized access; it cannot be used by
hackers as well
 Service Denial: This is another area of getting hacked within system through sending of
spam emails to any users. Huang, Siegel & Madnick (2018), commented that a large
number of surprising mails can be a scope of entering into the customer profile. For
example, using the help of Distributed Denial of Service Attacks, it involves a variety of
hacking instruments in the overall process so that it can be easily put into the system
through software agents.
 Replicating of virus into the system:
Mancino (2016), opined that replication of virus in a system takes place through
Internet connection as well as Trojan Horses that are in disguise as well as legitimate
software that can be used up by the hackers. However, theft and fraud is another path
of steeling information
 Justification of Secured Electronic Transaction and E-commerce:
There is an authentic relationship between SET and E-commerce. Mancino (2016), it
can be acknowledged that this relationship exists for the purpose of knowing about the
detailed process of online transaction. In other words, it can be done through digital
certification as well as signed documents issued by the computerized signature. In this
 respect, it can be identified that, as per the deeper understanding of this fact cyber
security has been considered to be an omnipresent issues everywhere.
 Justification of making relationship between HTTP and E-commerce:
Based on the above context, it can be well acknowledged that cyber security issues
can also appear through the relationship between Hyper text Transfer

Literature Gap
Based on the understanding of the concept, it can be acknowledged that cyber Security
issues can occur based due to the number of phishing works as well as due to the absence of
anti-security options. However, using this strategic vision of the literature, it can be less
effective, as it might not cover large volume of research for acknowledging large volume of data
as well as ethical norms as well. It can also be due to the time constraints as well.

Summary
Therefore, based on the overview of the research, it can be well organized on this very
fact that Cyber Security issues can be noted this can be controlled based on strategic
implementation and execution of theories and applications.

3. Research Methodology

Planning a research Design

The research will be based on the qualitative method of by taking a survey
questionnaires asked to the number of key Board to supervise and guide its associated business
E-commerce (Moore et al. 2016). In that case, it will cover near about a large volume of data
from the suitable website sources as well as other secondary research.

4. Tools for analyzing the data

This involves relationship analysis based on the hypothesis for analyzing the data by
collecting data and information from a online survey through questionnaires.

Conclusion:

Based on this overall process of research, it can be acknowledged that cyber security
issues can have major threats to the business of E-commerce along with the implications of
theory in it. In other words, as per relationship study on the variables above, it has been quite
recognized from this fact that Cyber security cannot be minimized completely from business
platforms. Therefore, using this brief research, it can be effective in doing further study of the
issue as well.
