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[edit]

Early days and founding[edit]

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]

Investment[edit]

As of September 2021, Jscrambler had raised a total of US$18.1 million in funding over 3 rounds:

  • Seed — In 2014, Jscrambler raised US$800,000 from Portugal Ventures, a public VC and PE firm.[7]
  • Seed Extension — In March 2018, Jscrambler raised US$2.3 million in a round led by Sonae IM with the co-investment of Portugal Ventures.[8]
  • Series A — In September 2021, Jscrambler raised US$15 million in a round led by Ace Capital Partners, with participation from Sonae IM and Portugal Ventures.[9]
