In the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, staying ahead of the curve is paramount, especially for industries as dynamic as retail. Today, we are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey of innovation and excellence: DataDome has achieved the AWS Retail Software Competency, further solidifying our position as a leading cybersecurity solution tailored specifically for the retail sector.

We are the only bot mitigation specialist to have achieved the AWS Security Competency, and now the only specialist with both Security and Retail Competencies. So, what makes the AWS Retail Software Competency such a game-changer for DataDome and our customers in the retail industry?

1. Expertise in Retail-Specific Solutions

DataDome is trusted by leading retailers to stop bad bots and online fraud, protecting leading enterprises like Amway, Helly Hansen, Kurt Geiger, Foot Locker, and more.

Achieving the AWS Retail Software Competency demonstrates DataDome’s deep understanding of the specific challenges caused by bot traffic inherent in the retail landscape. From safeguarding customer data to mitigating sophisticated cyber attacks targeting e-commerce platforms, our solutions are meticulously designed to address the bot and fraud mitigation needs of retailers in an increasingly digital world, such as:

• Ad fraud: Bots can click on your ads, draining your budget and skewing campaign analytics.
• Account takeovers: User accounts contain personal information and even saved payment details that bots try to steal and use.
• Payment fraud: ATOs can cause payment fraud, but so can general carding activity—which means chargebacks and increased merchant fees for you.
• Scrapers: Bots can steal your product descriptions and prices, potentially spreading your proprietary information to competitors.
• DDoS attacks: Bot activity of any kind is a strain on your business’ resources, and DDoS attacks are a strain on your reputation—and your revenue.

2. Innovation & Differentiation

By partnering with AWS and earning the Retail Software Competency, DataDome showcases its commitment to innovation and staying at the forefront of cybersecurity trends. Our advanced technology empowers retailers to embrace digital transformation securely, fostering innovation while safeguarding against ever-evolving threats posed by cybercriminals.

AWS helps businesses scale to meet customer demands using innovative cloud-based services such as AWS EC2 and CloudFront. But sophisticated bots and online fraud are becoming more common, and basic protections are ineffective. By allying with AWS, DataDome’s accurate, scalable, easy-to-use bot and online fraud protection is easier for AWS customers to find and deploy on their infrastructure. It’s simple: AWS and DataDome are better together.

3. Enhanced Trust & Reliability

For our clients in the retail industry, the AWS Retail Software Competency serves as a mark of trust and reliability. It assures them that DataDome possesses the knowledge, experience, and technical capabilities required to deliver robust security solutions that align seamlessly with their business objectives, ultimately enhancing their resilience in the face of online threats.

At DataDome, we remain committed to freeing the internet from fraud. With the AWS Retail Software Competency under our belt, we are more equipped than ever to empower retailers worldwide to thrive securely in an increasingly interconnected world.
