When choosing the ideal P2P solution, key considerations will always be how best to cut costs, streamline processes, and improve the financial supply chain. However, our increasingly digitized age now demands that organizations equally prioritize data security.
As tools for online data protection become more sophisticated, so do the tools for data theft. Even global organizations with sturdy IT infrastructures are susceptible. In 2013, nearly 3 million encrypted credit records were stolen from Adobe, as well as an unknown number of users’ login data.
So how might a P2P solution affect data security? What access controls need to be in place? How will you maintain robust and adaptable security systems?
This whitepaper from Direct Commerce explores the potential benefits and risks of 3 approaches to deploying P2P technology:
• In-house and the potential impact on IT resources, why data security can be as much an issue for HR as IT, and how these issues could affect the potential savings with the solution
• Cloud-based and the possible risks of having reduced control over resolving security issues and sharing a network with other applications that might be attracting hackers
• Private SaaS hosting and how an application provider can offer more flexible architecture and design, eliminate the risk of sharing servers with unknown applications, and prevent access to sensitive data behind firewalls
Download this document to discover how your P2P solution could influence your data security and control the risks.
