Taobao Security Architecture and Design

Taobao was founded as a subsidiary of the Alibaba Group of companies after 1999 to operate in the e-commerce space, wholesale, and retail business models. Taobao has therefore grown over time to create a trading ecosystem where the internet is used to link consumers, clients, and customers around China and the world. As a result, almost all activities are carried out in the online space while coordinating the company’s logistics, advertisements, supply chains, and even marketing. Eventually, Taobao managed to use the social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook to reach larger market shares or market affiliates. Productions have therefore managed to increase almost tenfold based on the extent to which the company embraced information and communication technology, re-invention of their practices, and innovations.
