New Webinar: Closing the Approval Gap in AI-Era Ad Tech

Summary: A webinar from Reflectiz and Taboola describes the Approval Gap: a single approved marketing tag can load fourth-party scripts that security never vetted, and because those scripts run client-side they hold the same access to forms, checkout fields, and customer data as the site's own code. Reflectiz's State of Web Exposure Report 2026 attributes 53% of retail risk exposures to excessive use of tracking tools, and Taboola's Omri Ariav says the initial approval is not the finish line and one check is not enough.
Why it matters: The undisclosed sub-calls between what security approved and what runs in the browser belong to no one, so they pass firewalls, WAFs, and point-in-time code review - and a script that was clean at approval can change the day after.
