Understanding the Risks

Unpatched vulnerabilities can expose your Adobe Commerce or Magento store to serious threats, leaving your business open to cyberattacks and operational disruptions.

Timely updates and security measures are essential to safeguard your platform and maintain customer trust. Here are the three primary risks:

Attackers can exploit vulnerabilities to execute malicious code, potentially compromising your entire system. This could lead to data breaches, operational disruptions, and unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Unaddressed vulnerabilities can put your PCI compliance at risk, exposing your store to fines and reputational damage. A non-compliant store can lose customer trust, especially when dealing with sensitive payment information.

Security breaches damage your store’s credibility, leading to a decline in customer trust. For example, malicious code injection could result in stolen customer data, causing potential revenue loss, especially during critical sales seasons.

Protecting Your Store

Magento is the go-to eCommerce platform for Atwix and there are several reasons for that. First of all, it’s open-source, meaning unlimited flexibility in terms of tailoring it to any requirements a business might have. Another important point is Magento community: hundreds of thousands of people around the world invest in the platform on a daily basis. This in turn spawns thousands of Magento extensions, tools, and studying materials.

Magento Inc. is also actively firming the ground by improving the platform itself, both by adding out-of-the-box functionality, and by forging partnerships with key eCommerce players.

Atwix has been living and breathing Magento almost since its inception, actively contributing to the community by publishing explanatory blog articles and organizing Meet Magento events. We jumped into Magento 2 as soon as it was released for beta testing, and are one of the most active contributors to its Magento B2B module.
