What is your main objective at Source Defense?
Websites today typically operate with many third-party vendors scripts integrated onto the website.
These scripts are designed to enable rich content capability and provide measures of website performance and efficiency.
These include analytics, advertising, chat services, social media applications, etc.
This security generally includes firewalls and WAFs which focus on protecting the server-side of the website session.
Todays solutions are focused around detecting this problem post-breach.
The Source Defense solution was purposefully built for deployment and administration simplicity.
Machine intelligence is leveraged to evaluate deployed third-party scripts and assigns default policies per third party service.
Additionally, ongoing administration is extremely low requiring little oversight beyond accepting policies for newly deployed third party scripts.
Machine learning ensures that these default policies are generally effective.
However, these policies may be customized if required.
It allows organizations to quickly and securely deploy third-party tools that enable rich content and capability to their websites.
How has the transition from analog to digital changed the game for financial institutions?
Today, third-party integrations are commonly deployed.
The typical bank will have 20-40 third-party scripts operating simultaneously.
Tag management platforms enable seamless addition of scripts to web pages with a simple user interface.
These tools can be implemented quickly and securely.
Source Defense advises paying increased attention and care to vulnerabilities appearing on the client (surfing app) side.
In your opinion, should the Internet be regulated?
I don’t think the Internet should not be regulated.
However, this answer depends on a discussion of “regulated”.
There’s a great risk that simple regulation will evolve very quickly to censorship.
That said, I do believe that there are websites that should be taken down and handled.
I wouldnt have ISPs blocking applications, because that’s a very slippery slope.
What can you tell us about Source Defense’s future plans?
Many recent breaches have highlighted the need for this solution.
As such, we are engaged in multiple pilots with large multinational organizations and Fortune-500 companies.
We will remain steadfast in our core goal of assisting organizations with secure business enablement.
