E-business security issues for SMEs in a virtual hosting environment

The Small and medium Enterprise (SME) sector is often reliant on external internet services due to their limited internal expertise in technological and other non-core business areas. As a result they are potentially more prone to overlook or be unaware of important security issues when they expand their web presence into the commercial transactions segment of e-business.In this paper the basis of those security issues will be examined with respect to the virtual web hosting environment, to clarify for e-business merchants and customers alike what the current technology does allow and to expose potential security leak sources and possible solutions. While the discussion will use Business to Consumer (B2C) as an example, the issues described are equally relevant to other forms of e-business.
