Page Shield is generally available

What's this blog post about?

Supply chain attacks are becoming increasingly concerning for CIOs and security professionals. During these attacks, an attacker compromises a third-party tool or library used by the target application, potentially leading to data theft or further attacks. To help identify and mitigate such threats in web applications, Cloudflare has launched Page Shield in General Availability (GA). This solution provides visibility into scripts running on an application and notifies users when compromised or malicious behavior is detected. Page Shield leverages its position as a reverse proxy to receive information directly from the browser about loaded JavaScript files and modules. It then analyzes this data and warns users of any malicious behavior, such as attempts to exfiltrate user data. Examples of compromised scripts include Magecart attacks, cryptomining, and adware. Cloudflare's Enterprise customers can purchase the full set of Page Shield capabilities, including detection and prevention options.
