More than 90% of websites use third-party scripts and open source libraries for common functions such as payments, customer reviews, tag management and social media integration. But website owners lack visibility into this Shadow Code – scripts added without approvals or ongoing security validation – to know for certain that their site is safe from cyberattacks, introducing hidden risks into an organization.

Michael Osterman, President, Osterman Research Inc and Kim DeCarlis, CMO, PerimeterX discuss the hidden risk of using third-party scripts. Learn how to secure your modern web applications from supply-side attacks to avoid the risk of a data breach, ensure data privacy and comply with regulations.

The webinar covers:

  • Vulnerabilities introduced by third-party scripts in your web applications
  • Attack detection methods and challenges
  • Visibility into code changes using third-party scripts

Executive Summary

This new survey of application security professionals underscores the lack of awareness people have about website vulnerabilities in third-party client-side scripts and the unaddressed threats that can result from this blind side.

Industry estimates state that the typical website is comprised of approximately 70 percent third-party code. The survey found that while almost all websites are running at least some third-party client-side scripts, 60 percent of those surveyed estimated the proportion of third-party code to be significantly lower – a dangerous misconception.

Read the whitepaper to learn how you can manage risk from third-party code and better protect your applications.
