Description

c/side: The Client-Side Platform for Cybersecurity, Compliance, and Privacy Monitoring third-party scripts effectively eliminates uncertainty, ensuring that you are always aware of what is being delivered to your users' browsers, while also enhancing script performance by up to 30%. The unchecked presence of these scripts in users' browsers can lead to significant issues when things go awry, resulting in adverse publicity, potential legal actions, and claims for damages stemming from security breaches. Compliance with PCI DSS 4.0.1, particularly sections 6.4.3 and 11.6.1, requires that organizations handling cardholder data implement tamper-detection measures by March 31, 2025, to help prevent attacks by notifying stakeholders of unauthorized modifications to HTTP headers and payment information. c/side stands out as the sole fully autonomous detection solution dedicated to evaluating third-party scripts, moving beyond reliance on merely threat feed intelligence or easily bypassed detections. By leveraging historical data and artificial intelligence, c/side meticulously analyzes the payloads and behaviors of scripts, ensuring a proactive stance against emerging threats. Our continuous monitoring of numerous sites allows us to stay ahead of new attack vectors, as we process all scripts to refine and enhance our detection capabilities. This comprehensive approach not only safeguards your digital environment but also instills greater confidence in the security of third-party integrations.

Bot Detection and Mitigation

cside is an innovative client-side security solution tailored to defend organizations against the increasing risks posed by browser-based threats. In contrast to conventional security measures that depend primarily on threat intelligence feeds, cside utilizes a self-sufficient detection mechanism that leverages historical data and artificial intelligence to scrutinize the behavior of external scripts. This forward-thinking strategy empowers cside to detect and neutralize potential threats proactively, preventing them from impacting your users and providing strong defense against zero-day exploits and supply chain vulnerabilities. Featuring a distinctive multi-layered approach, cside delivers unmatched protection for client-side applications, positioning itself as a vital resource for any organization aiming to secure its online presence.

Browser Security

Client-Side Protection

Achieving complete session coverage, our solution employs DOM-level comparisons and conditional threat identification based on geographic location, time, and user demographics. The client-side component intercepts all third-party requests, retrieves the relevant JavaScript, and analyzes it instantaneously. This proactive approach ensures that any harmful code is prevented from being executed by the browser before it runs even a single line.

Compliance

An independent evaluation by VikingCloud verifies that, when set up correctly, cside meets the necessary criteria by persistently monitoring integrity and, when needed, preventing scripts in real-time. The cside platform features a specialized PCI DSS dashboard that specifically addresses insights related to requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1.
