Context & Challenges
The cybersecurity landscape in the Brazilian e-commerce sector in 2021 was challenging. Cyberattacks in Brazil surged by 62% compared to 2020, making it one of the most active years for attacks. Companies like Lojas Renner, CVC, Porto Seguro, Atento, Serasa Experian, as well as platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn, faced the repercussions of having their users exposed or their systems rendered inoperative.
Lojas Americanas themselves had experienced an almost 72-hour outage on their e-commerce platforms. Following this incident, the company began to seek a partner capable of implementing stronger and more appropriate security practices to safeguard sensitive customer data, financial information, and transaction systems . This also included compliance with data protection regulations such as the General Data Protection Law (GDPL).
With a presence in both e-commerce and physical stores, Lojas Americanas stand out in the retail sector by providing a diverse and convenient platform, driven by digital marketing strategies, efficient logistics, and technology investments.
They lead the Brazilian e-commerce market, consistently striving to enhance customer experience and adapt to online market changes.
