Source Defense – Helping companies drive their business forward while ensuring compliance and customer data privacy

The Silicon Review

Perhaps the most salient aspect of cybersecurity as a professional discipline is its continuous cycle of change. As cyber-attacks emerge that challenge the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of some on-line resources, corresponding protection solutions are invented to reduce the risk. Once these solutions become integrated into the underlying fabric of the resource of interest, new cyber-attacks emerge, and new solutions are invented, and the cycle continues. That is when client-side security protection plays a very crucial role. In cybersecurity, client-side security, client-side vulnerabilities, and client-side attacks refer to security incidents and breaches that occur on the customer’s (or users) computer system rather than on the company’s (on the server side) or in between the two. Modern web applications load an average of 20+ third-party scripts as part of the standard user experience. This ongoing integration and reliance on third-party code creates a software supply chain that is collected and implemented on your customer’s/client’s device, almost in real-time. The risk that one of these many third-party scripts is housing a security threat is an ongoing concern. The best way to protect your customers from these insidious attacks is to minimize client-side vulnerabilities—a security posture that is often forgotten in favor of boosting server-side security upgrades instead.

Next-generation client security solutions offered

Source Defense Platform: The solutions powered by the Source Defense Platform protect online businesses against automated attacks and client-side threats and improve operational efficiency. Source Defense is an analyst-recognized pioneer and innovator of technologies that leverage machine learning, industry regulations, and best practices to enhance website security and efficiency. With its technology, you never have to choose between innovating and protecting what matters most, your customers, and their data. It unifies protection capabilities onto a single, easy-to-use interface that can be accessed and centrally controlled and understands client-side security breaches' nature and intention.

ADMIN Management Console: Source Defense's ADMIN Management Console encompasses security management in an all-in-one, scalable system for full threat visibility and control across all your websites. With its security management console, you can manage multiple client-side threat levels, providing superior policy efficiency and enabling you to manage security through a single pane of glass. The security management console centrally correlates all attacks, policy suggestions, and successful mitigations, providing full threat visibility.

Source Defense VICE: Source Defense's VICE isolates all 3rd party JavaScript from the webpage in real-time and leverages a fully automated and machine-learning assisted set of policies that control the access and permissions of all 3rd party tools operating on a website (including the 4th and 5th parties they chain-in). Source Defense utilizes real-time sandbox isolation technology that provides a unique client-side website security solution focused on preventing malicious activity originating from website supply chain vendors (also known as Magecart and form jacking attacks). VICE is a client-side application security solution that continuously protects your website from digital skimming and Magecart attacks, preventing data breaches and reducing your risk of non- compliance. It uses behavioral analysis and advanced machine learning to automatically detect vulnerable scripts, suspicious PII access, and data leakage from your users' browsers.

Source Defense WiPP: Website in Page Protection (WiPP) is a unique component of the Source Defense Platform that protects websites from online attacks originating from first-party code, insider threat attacks, and vulnerabilities introduced by open source libraries. After the system has collected that information, an administrator can decide which of the scripts need to have access to information present on the web page. Once appropriate permission has been granted to only the scripts that require it, all other scripts accessing sensitive information will be blocked. Their behavior will be recorded for future analysis.
