Security in the E-Commerce Environment
Serious issue! Multiple deprivation of service attacks on e-
commerce web sites 2/6 - 2/11, 2000; also, the attack of October 21, 2002, which flooded all 13 of the root servers of the Internet Domain Name System (DNS) (on main internet servers)
Security of data, proprietary business information Impact on the volume of sales and on the bottom
line.

Benefits of E-commerce Improved, lower cost information Lower entry costs Available 24/7, virtually anywhere in the world Availability expands markets for both buyers and sellers Decreases the cost of paper-based information Reduces the cost of communication Provides richer communication than traditional means Fast delivery of digitized products Increased flexibility of location
14
Limitations of E-commerce Lack of system security, reliability and standards Lack of privacy Insufficient bandwidth Integrating e-commerce software with existing
software is still a challenge Lack of trust in (1) unknowns on the other end of
the transaction, (2) integrity of the transaction itself, and(3) electronic money that is only bits and bytes
15
Impact on Product Design
Shorter life cycles require faster product development and lead to time-based competition
Greater use of shared knowledge and collaboration - decreased development costs
More data sharing with suppliers and strategic partners
