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. It also integrates technology actions and threat intelligence to strengthen a company's cybersecurity posture further.

ADMIN Management Console: Source Defense's ADMIN Management Console is a cutting-edge, all-in-one solution designed to transform how organizations manage client-side security across their websites. This scalable system offers a comprehensive approach to threat visibility and control, ensuring that security management is streamlined, efficient, and effective.

At the heart of the ADMIN Management Console is its ability to provide a centralized view of security across multiple websites. This feature is crucial for organizations that need to oversee complex, multi-site environments. The console consolidates threat data from various sources, allowing security teams to monitor and manage multiple client-side threat levels from a single interface. This centralized approach enhances policy efficiency, reduces the complexity of managing disparate security tools, and ensures that all aspects of client-side protection are coordinated.

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.
