Security News > 2020 > July > Most global brands fail to implement security controls to prevent data leakage and theft

As attackers ramp up efforts to exploit this crisis, a slew of high-profile attacks on global brands and record-breaking fines for GDPR breaches have had little impact on client-side security and data protection deployments.

There's a troubling lack of security controls required to prevent data theft and loss through client-side attacks like Magecart, formjacking, cross-site scripting, and credit card skimming.

In many cases, this data leakage is taking place via whitelisted, legitimate applications, without the website owner's knowledge.

Key findings highlight the scale of vulnerability and that the majority of global brands fail to deploy adequate security controls to guard against client-side attacks.

Standards-based security controls exist that can prevent these attacks.
