With a firewall, a WAF, bot defense, and a SIEM, you control and monitor web traffic entering the data center. Criminals have adapted their strategies to attack your customers in the browser. New web architectures involving dozens of third-party JavaScript files make this new attack surface even more vulnerable.
Enterprises cannot keep track of all the scripts and changes that go on in their website and attackers are exploiting this lack of surveillance to introduce malicious code into the supply chain that their web page relies on.
These attacks occur when a threat actor injects one or many malicious scripts into a legitimate page or code repo to create a software supply chain man-in-the-browser attack (SC-MITB). The attacker can then run keyloggers and any other JavaScript based attacks on the end-users browser stealing any credit card data, username and password combinations etc... which will be sent to the attackers command and control server as pictured below.
F5® Distributed Cloud Client-Side Defense (CSD) provides a multi-phase protection system that protects web applications against Magecart-style and other malicious JavaScript attacks. This multi-phase protection system includes detection, alerting, and mitigation.
Learn about the risks of JavaScript supply-chain attacks (aka Magecart), the costs of Formjacking and PII Harvesting, and how to detect and mitigate this threat vector. Regain security control of your apps with F5’s Distributed Cloud Client-Side Defense.
