What is Source Defense?

Source Defense Platform is an Application Security platform for monitoring and protecting client-side JavaScript on websites. It addresses security risks associated with first-party, third-party, fourth-party, and other externally supplied scripts.

Key Capabilities

  • Client-side visibility: The platform identifies scripts running on a website and provides information about script activity and behavior.
  • Threat detection: Source Defense Detect uses external scanning and alerting to identify client-side threat activity and data-privacy policy violations without requiring changes to site code.
  • Client-side protection: Source Defense Protect isolates first-party and third-party JavaScript at the point of data input and applies policy controls to script access and permissions.
  • Threat coverage: The platform is designed to address client-side threats including keylogging, formjacking, digital skimming, and Magecart activity.
  • Data controls: Data Loss Prevention functions restrict unauthorized script access to or storage of sensitive website data.
  • Deployment options: Organizations can use external monitoring and alerting or real-time automated protection. The Protect deployment uses two lines of code on a website.

Audience & Use Cases

  • Audience: Application-security, digital, e-commerce, and compliance teams.
  • Use Case: Organizations can monitor JavaScript dependencies, identify unauthorized data access, and apply controls to client-side scripts on customer-facing websites.
