Most solutions use outdated approaches that miss sophisticated attacks, often heavily leveraging public threat feed intel. CSP-only tools don’t see the script contents firsthand and, as a result, have no idea of the script payloads that were served. Client-side hook based products inject hooks that attackers can easily bypass. Crawler solutions only check your site occasionally from data centers. cside uses a hybrid proxy that inspects every script in real-time before it reaches your users, blocks malicious code instantly, and keeps complete forensic records of everything that was attempted.
