Ah, the holidays—a time for joy, peace, and cybercriminals roasting your network over an open fire. While you were busy decking the halls, hackers have been decking the halls with your unmonitored JavaScript, the unsung hero of holiday scams. What’s that, you say? Your WAF has got your back? Sweet summer child, your Web Application Firewall is about as useful as a chocolate teapot against the scourge of rogue scripts.

Picture this: you’re sipping eggnog and nonchalantly ignoring the big flashing warning signs from your intrusion detection systems. Meanwhile, cyber Grinches are using your JavaScript like a candy-cane crowbar, prying open your system and making off with all the Christmas cookies, aka payment data. But don’t worry, this doesn’t show up on your radar—after all, what you can’t see can’t hurt you, right?

As the 2025 shopping season looms larger than your aunt’s fruitcake, it’s high time to close those ‘visibility gaps.’ Or, as we like to call them, ‘mind the gap’ zones where hackers salivate over the opportunity to take your festive spirit and sell it on the dark web. So, go ahead, unwrap the complete Holiday Season Security Playbook, and give the gift of competency to your IT department this season.
