According to a recent news release from Gartner, "Of all the behaviors affected, online commerce (including online banking, online payments and online shopping) is suffering the highest toll."

For their research, Gartner surveyed 5 thousand U.S. adults and found that Internet security concerns have kept them from shopping online and "nearly half of online U.S. adults, or 46 percent of more than 155 million people, say concerns about theft of information, data breaches or Internet-based attacks have affected their purchasing payment, online transaction or email behavior."

Gartner also noted that emails were becoming less and less trusted as 85 percent of those surveyed claim to automatically delete emails from people and business they do not personally know without even opening them. Online banking is suffering as well. Gartner estimates approximately 33 million U.S. adults are not using online banking because of security concerns.

"Financial institutions and other e-commerce service providers need to beef up security in their online channel to retain customers, but they must be careful to keep the added measures relatively convenient," Gartner notes.
