Jscrambler is a technology company mainly known for its JavaScript obfuscator and eponymous monitoring framework. The obfuscator makes it harder to reverse engineer a web application's client-side code and tamper with its integrity.[1] For real-time detection of web skimming, DOM tampering and user interface changes, the monitoring framework can be used.[2] Jscrambler's products are used in a number of sectors including finance, broadcasting and online gaming.[3][4][5]
History
Early days and founding
Jscrambler started as AuditMark, which was founded in 2009 by Pedro Fortuna and Rui Ribeiro. The company's initial focus was developing a solution to fight click-fraud in advertising campaigns, since the traffic audit mechanism was JavaScript dependent.[6] The name of the flagship product - Jscrambler - also became the name of the company, which was officially founded in 2014.[citation needed]
