No Code Changes Required
DataStealth’s PCI e-skimming Protection requires only a small DNS network change; no application code changes are needed.
In contrast, other solutions require adding monitoring scripts ("sensors") across each server or application page, creating complexity and scalability issues.
Covers Every User
DataStealth’s PCI e-skimming Protection provides 100% browser coverage across all devices by dynamically editing and protecting traffic in real-time before it reaches the consumer's browser. Inventories and inspects all scripts (inline, third-party, fourth-party) proactively before loading.
On the other hand, script-based solutions offer limited browser support and may be affected by ad-blockers installed by the consumer on their browser, leaving gaps in protection.
Client and Server-Agnostic
DataStealth’s PCI e-skimming Protection works inline with traffic, analyzing scripts before they are served to consumers. Fully agnostic to client platforms, operating systems, and browsers.
Competing solutions often rely on endpoint compatibility and may not support all platforms or browsers effectively.
Not Susceptible to Tampering
DataStealth’s PCI e-skimming Protection operates independently of endpoint scripts; attackers cannot disable monitoring as there are no client-side sensors to compromise.
In contrast, the efficacy of client-side monitoring is dependent upon the order in which scripts are executed by the consumer’s browser. Consequently, attackers can disable client-side monitoring scripts before launching attacks, making these alternative solutions non-compliant, as described in the PCI DSS Guidance for PCI DSS Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1.
Readily Scalable
DataStealth’s PCI e-skimming Protection easily scales across large infrastructures without any burdensome maintenance due to requiring a simple DNS change at the network layer.
On the other hand, adding script-based sensors becomes increasingly resource-intensive as the number of servers and pages grow.
Compliance Ready Out-of-the-Box. Proactive Against Evolving Threats
DataStealth’s PCI e-skimming Protection was specifically designed for PCI DSS v4 requirements (6.4.3 & 11.6.1) and, more importantly, eliminating gaps that script-based attacks typically exploit. It proactively detects, alerts, and prevents unauthorized scripts from loading entirely – rather than merely detecting them after loading – thus exceeding PCI compliance standards
