About Source Defense is a mission critical element of web security designed to protect data at the point of input.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros LinkSentry’s real-time monitoring effectively catches malicious, NSFW, and broken links across our school network’s websites, preventing repeats of past issues with inappropriate content. The javascript snippet was easy to add, and the customizable policies allow precise alert tuning. The dashboards provide clear, actionable insights, ensuring our sites remain secure and trustworthy. I have used broken-link checkers for close to a decade now. I switched to LinkSentry when I realized that it can detect not just broken links, but many more kinds of unwanted content, like links to adult websites, and links that redirect to other sites when visited. Moreover, the tool was able to find many more broken links than previous tools (I believe this is because of the JS library that it uses). LinkSentry continuously monitors external links for security threats, giving us confidence that our site is protected. It’s reliable and does exactly what it promises. Cons The detailed email reports, while comprehensive, can be overwhelming. A concise summary option would better suit my team's workflow. Considering the Slack integration upgrade for faster alerts. I wish that LinkSentry could do something about the broken links other than flag them to me. Maybe remove them (if possible) or warn my users not to click on them. No major drawbacks so far. Would love to see even more integrations in the future.
