Tala Security Helps Retailers Protect Sensitive Data Across the Web

Published: March 18, 2021

Data protection and client-side security provider Tala Security has launched Tala Detect, a platform designed to secure and control critical, sensitive web data and enable compliance/risk management. Tala Detect tracks data across three dimensions — exposure, capture and exfiltration/leakage — to help provide the means to control: 

  • Sensitive Data Exposure: Which website integrations have access to what sensitive data?
  • Sensitive Data Readers: Which website integrations read sensitive data?
  • Sensitive Data Exfiltration: Which website integrations extract sensitive data?

The Tala Detect platform is designed to provide fine-grained data discovery, mapping and information flow analysis to identify sensitive data in forms, network requests, cookies and local/session storage. Synthetic JavaScript virtualization techniques also can trace data to identify complex workflows that can access, read and exfiltrate data both intentionally and unintentionally. Specific capabilities include:

  • Insights into the initiation chain or website calls that ultimately cause leakage of sensitive data;
  • Analytics on risk patterns and Magecart IOC markers, alerting possible compliance violations, website supply chain risks and vulnerabilities;
  • Safeguarding of sensitive data from unauthorized access by both malicious and trusted third parties; and
  • Reporting on compliance/risk management.
