While there are many threats out there today many of these threats are almost always targeted towards anything to do with business and money because they are always looking to gain free access to money sources or a way to steal things from companies or customers who have done business with them in the past.

Thirdly being able to take both of those attacks and further them by tracing bank accounts and credit accounts to gain access to unlimited amounts of money from the store, clients, and employees. As for techniques and processes I think it’s best to have constant 100% all time security on guard such as protection services, cameras, guards, etc. This is in place to mainly guard the physical stores from theft of products and other suspicious persons, for the online part you can have firewalls, passwords, account information, plus much more to protect and lockdown all the accounts and sales information behind multiple walls to safeguard it from unwanted eyes.
