Tala prevents client-side attacks like Magecart, XSS, code injections and session re-directs. Our innovative solution is designed to secure customer data and ensure data privacy, without degrading site performance or top-line revenue. Tala's technology automates policy generation, deployment and maintenance of powerful web standards, including CSP, SRI, Feature Policy, Referrer Policy, HSTS and others. Tala also leverages JavaScript virtualization synthetically to prevent unauthorized data access or leakage. This innovative combination of capabilities ensures attacks are prevented in real-time, data privacy and integrity is assured and the need for costly and continuous administration or incident response is minimized. Tala is led by industry veterans and successful entrepreneurs. We are backed by an impressive collection of well-known tech investors, angels, former executives at Symantec and by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Our technology has garnered multiple awards including being named a Gartner Cool Vendor and an RSA Innovation Sandbox Finalist.
