You! Yes, You! Catseye Says Your Online Security Could Be At Risk
Every single time you buy or sell something online, your data and financial information is at risk of being stolen. “Just one error, accident or system error and you could easily be staring at a phishing attack, credit-card fraud, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, DDoS attack or an opportunistic bot,” says Suraj Singh, CEO of Catseye Systems & Solutions. “Online retailers are most likely to face credit card fraud or data errors, which are just two of the things that eqomOS, our flagship B2B and B2C ecommerce platform protects you against,” he explains. A typical e-commerce platform has to deal with a plethora of security risks committed both intentionally and unintentionally by users. Here’s the lowdown on how eqomOS protects you against online security risks.
Data Security With eqomOS
Catseye caters to two types of customers—consumers of retail goods/services and consumers of bulk orders. “It is important for us that our customers and their transactions on our platform remain safe and sacrosanct,” says Mr. Singh. “eqomOS has 16 modules and around 20 different user roles. “While developing eqomOS, we made sure to keep the data amongst these various roles segregated and protected. Key modules like warehousing, logistics, accounts, vendors, sales, marketing, etc. make use of hand held devices which expose them to local wireless network related attacks. By promoting the use of a HSTS network and preload submission of domain we ensure safe data encryption even on a wireless network.”
Covering The Entire Gamut Of Intrusion
Catseye not only makes use of industry grade AppSec tools to detect and prevent threats, but ships eqomOS with extreme levels of security audits at the client (browser) side. Their audit covers the entire gamut of intrusion from cookie-hijacking, impersonation, XSS, XST, CSRF, and Forensics, etc. At the server end Catseye has policies for effective DOS, DDoS, port and ACL protection with TCP wrappers, password-less SSH logins, traffic monitoring and a lot more checks. The platform also provides timely updates to registered customers on the threats of phishing, and accordingly suggests ways to avoid falling prey to malicious attempts.
Mr. Singh says that they ensure the presence of an SSL layer for privacy and secrecy of data in transit. “We also offer security audits of the client infrastructure as part of our product porting process onto the customers network. Because, while SSL protects data reasonably well on its way to the server, it is laid bare once it arrives at the server. It is therefore imperative to ensure data is protected in storage as well and in cache during processing. Ensuring patches are regularly applied is an important part of how we maintain software hygiene at the server end,” he explains.
Success With An Austrian Project
When asked about their most recent success with eqomOS, the Catseye CEO talks excitedly about how they had to integrate with over 135 vendors and service providers for an Austrian client. “Not only were we given a tight deadline, but the boundaries of acceptable security for the application too were unlimited. The extensible framework of eqomOS’ platform enabled us to finish the task well in time. We have a dedicated innovations team, so we’re constantly improving, and exploring new technologies and advances for our products,” says Mr. Singh. eqomOS will soon sport intelligent customer profiling via multi-dimensional data modelling, recommendations via NLP and multi-tenant, loyalty programs via blockchains, and virtual showrooms using VR 3d models. “Catseye is a company that takes pride in leveraging technology to provide the best possible solution for a business. While we dabble a lot with cutting edge technology, we use solutions that are both safe and durable,” concludes the CEO.
