Source Defense Unveils Website Trust & Client-side Security Report

ROSH HAAYIN, Israel, March 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Source Defense, the market leader in client-side web security, today released its 2021 Website Trust & Client-side Security Report. This new intelligence shares insights from Source Defense Research Lab's Website Trust Survey and provides in-depth analysis of the client-side threat landscape and specific attacks like formjacking, Magecart and web browser threats.

The research offers a rare window on web security sentiments for a population relying almost exclusively on websites for all manner of shopping, healthcare, financial services and other essential needs during the pandemic. Key findings include:

• 93% of consumers are concerned about data security when filling out online forms
• 91% said that brands requiring consumers to complete web forms are solely responsible for protecting consumers' information - regardless of whether a third-party service technically runs the forms or entire site, itself
• 49% said they would cut ties with an organization if a website attack or other breach exposed their private data

"According to our team's latest intelligence, there are over 1.7 billion public-facing websites in the world and JavaScript is used on 95% of them," said Dan Dinnar, CEO of Source Defense. "Client-side attacks are rapidly accelerating and exploiting the trust relationship between users and the websites they visit. Our Research Lab is helping companies understand client-side web attacks and trends because it can have a real impact on consumer behavior."
