Instart Web Skimming Protection
Web Skimming Protection was a product offered by Instart prior to the technology being acquired by Akamai at the start of 2020. Instart’s web skimming technology was designed to mitigate a subset of client-side website attacks including web skimming and formjacking, such as those perpetrated by Magecart.
How the Instart solution worked
Instart’s technology utilized a small JavaScript tag, which they called the Nanovisor. This JavaScript code monitored specific JavaScript functionality pertaining to the reading of data from certain HTML document (DOM) elements, like input boxes, text files and cookies.
Website owners who utilize Instart's technology were required to perform an analysis of their site content, usually by placing the product into a monitor mode to identify the IDs and CSS class names of all elements across all pages within their website – the output of which was used to configure the product.
Switch to the leader
With Akamai’s acquisition of Instart's technology, organizations who utilized the products may be concerned about the future and roadmap. You may not have evaluated Ensighten when you licensed Instart - Ensighten is the leader in website compliance and security, and our research and development has pioneered online skimming prevention.
As you are now likely going through a re-evaluation process, we would welcome the opportunity to show you how Ensighten's technology can not only replace what you already had, but exceed the capabilities that Instart’s products gave you.
