Think of it this way: a WAF sits between your users and your entire website, proxying all HTTPS traffic. Cside's hybrid proxy is much more targeted and only proxies some JavaScript files from third-party sources defined by the user (only proxying specific scripts), leaving your main website traffic completely untouched. Cside also offers an unproxied approach, which is most common, allowing a customer to specify script sources it deems reliable and proxying everything else as a sandbox. Your users connect directly to your website as normal, but when their browser requests a third-party script, that single request gets routed through our proxy for analysis before delivery.
Yes, because client-side security monitors an entirely different dimension of the application stack.
cside only adds 8-20 milliseconds to specific dynamic JavaScript files we proxy, with static scripts cached for faster loading.
cside is much simpler because we're only handling JavaScript files, not your entire web infrastructure.
Your website will continue working as intended with our fail-open design and 99.99% uptime SLA.
