Channel Security Protocols
Specialized security measures designed to protect sensitive data and transactions within and across sales channels, especially in digital and omnichannel environments.
Implications
Measures and practices put in place to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information and products within a sales or distribution channel, critical for preventing fraud, data breaches, and other security threats.
Example
Example: An e-commerce platform implements channel security protocols, including encryption, access controls, and regular audits, to ensure that customer data and transaction information are protected across its sales channels.
Related Terms
Different from general IT security, which focuses on the organization as a whole, channel security protocols are specifically designed to protect the sales and distribution network.
