Description

With all of your focus and investment on 3rd party risk management, there is likely still a blind-side that remains unaddressed. It is an area that should be moved to the top of your priority list - both for its potential to cause material losses in the form of response costs and fines and judgements, and for the ease in which it can be mitigated. It is a risk introduced by the 3rd party vendors you rely upon (and the nth parties they work with) to power and enhance your website. The threat of JavaScript based attacks - click-jacking, digital skimming, formjacking, defacement, "Magecart" - exists for any organization collecting sensitive data or conducting transactions through their web properties. Attacks of this type have done damage to some of the biggest brands in the world - costing household names like British Airways tens of millions - and they happen by the hundreds per month. Already in 2022, we've seen headlines of major client-side attacks like the one that hit Segway - potentially impacting nearly a million consumers. This is an area of exposure introduced through your own code, and by your partners, that can only be addressed at the client-side. It remains widely unaddressed, as focus in website security to this point has been on securing the server side. Join us for an exploration of the threat of these attacks, real-world examples of the material impact they have caused, and dialogue on the approaches to mitigating this risk with pros and cons of each.   Segment Resources: Our core whitepaper https://info.sourcedefense.com/event/client-side-white-paper-2022?leadsource=White%20Paper Blog on the blind side topic https://sourcedefense.com/resources/blog/wheres-the-blind-side-in-your-3rd-party-risk-its-on-the-client-side/ Free risk report on attendee's web properties https://sourcedefense.com/check-your-exposure/   This segment is sponsored by Source Defense.
