In the ever-evolving landscape of digital commerce, the rise of eSkimming has become one of the most critical threats facing the global payments ecosystem. Since recognizing this riskat its inception, Source Defense has led the charge to protect merchants, customers, and the financial infrastructure that underpins our digital economy. Today, our leadership, innovation, and trust have positioned us as the foremost authority and solution provider in eSkimming security.
Pioneering the eSkimming Security Frontier
In 2016, while others were still discovering the extent of client-side threats, Source Defense recognized the magnitude of the problem. We saw that as websites became more dynamic and interconnected with third-party scripts, they were also becoming prime targets for cybercriminals. This early insight led us to develop the industry’s first purpose-built solution for eSkimming protection years ahead of others who would later follow. Our patented, behavioral-based approach changed the security conversation. Instead of merely detecting or reacting to malicious activity, our technology proactively prevents attacks in real-time, eliminating the threat before it ever reaches sensitive customer or payment data. This forward-thinking innovation is what has made Source Defense synonymous with eSkimming prevention.
