About SecurityMetrics' Ecommerce Security Tools 
Traditional security tools and policies were not originally developed to identify web skimming (particularly ecommerce checkout skimming), especially in dynamic environments like online retail shopping carts. One of the biggest challenges with ecommerce skimming (also known as eskimming) is that it is undetectable by security tools such as antivirus, vulnerability scans, and file integrity monitoring (FIM). SecurityMetrics patented WIM technology helps detect these skimming attacks by running at the precise moment a customer inputs their credit card information and checks what scripts are present at that time.

Moreover, the latest PCI DSS version 4.0, specifically in requirement 11.6.1, mandates organizations to implement change detection procedures and technologies to alert personnel to unauthorized modifications to the HTTP headers and contents of the page(s) used to house the third-party payment service provider (TPSP) iframe.

Shopping Cart Monitor addresses the growing demand for ecommerce threat detection tools by offering a user-friendly solution for eskimming detection that meets PCI v.4.0 requirements for ecommerce security protection.

Specifically, Shopping Cart Monitor helps with the following PCI v4.0 requirements:

• Inventory Javascript (PCI req. 6.4.3): Any javascript on the page is inventoried and documented in order to meet PCI requirement 6.4.3. Both static and dynamically generated javascripts are analyzed and inventoried.
• Look for Modifications (PCI req. 11.6.1): Shopping Cart Monitor looks for payment page modifications, meeting PCI requirement 11.6.1 in having a change and tamper-detection mechanism in place.
