PerimeterX Protects $5B+ Worldwide E-commerce Revenue during Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday
During the Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday shopping period, U.S. online retail sales hit $28.49 billion, up 17.7% from $24.21 billion the same holiday period last year, per Adobe Analytics. Cyber Monday alone topped $9.4 billion in sales! During that period, PerimeterX found that 94% of total login attempts on the top e-commerce sites were malicious and blocked them, dramatically reducing the load and risk from our customers’ infrastructure. This enabled our customers to realize blockbuster online revenue surpassing $5 billion for the five-day period.
