Akamai, the intelligent edge platform for securing and delivering digital experiences, announced the launch of Page Integrity Manager, an in-browser threat detection solution designed to uncover compromised scripts that could be used to steal user data or impact the user experience.

Initially popularized by Magecart groups, and now being leveraged by other threat actors, the attack vector of malicious web page scripts is growing and has become a frequent source of data breaches.

A typical website relies on dozens of third-party sources - many that result in scripts executing in user browsers.

Third-party scripts are essential for the dynamic user experience expected in modern websites, inclusive of sensitive information pages used for payments, account management, and personal information forms.

"By its nature, web page scripts are very dynamic. Third-party scripts are especially opaque, creating a new attack vector that is challenging to defend against," said Raja Patel, Vice President of Products, Web Security at Akamai.
