Client-side Intelligence for Airlines & Transit

Bookings happen through browser webviews where attacks are invisible to traditional tools. Our intelligence gives you real-time visibility into threats targeting customers.

Overview

Your Traveler's Browsers Are the Target

  • 01

    Client-side attacks go undetected

    Your website loads dozens of 3rd party scripts (marketing tags, data integrations, analytics). One bad script exposes your users to attacks.

  • 02

    Legacy tools miss dynamic attacks

    Fraud tools and separate payment portals don't monitor the browser. CSPs and crawlers are evaded by attacks with dynamic JavaScript.

  • 03

    Compliance pressure is increasing

    Airlines & transit platforms fall under PCI DSS, GDPR, and regional data laws that hold organisations accountable for 3rd party scripts.

With cside:
  • Monitor & secure every script to block malicious code from reaching users
  • Protect sensitive flows like ticket booking and loyalty program pages
  • Prevent violations of PCI DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA
  • Reduce fraud with browser-layer forensics

Risk profile

Why Attackers Target Airline & Transit Platforms

High value data: Stealing login credentials to purchase flight tickets and or hijack loyalty miles are lucrative assets for attackers to go after.

Multiple "trusted" scripts: marketing tags, chatbots, code libraries, and script tag managers are all entry points for browser attacks.

Easy to hide: Payment and check-in flows already request sensitive data that attackers want - card details, passport numbers, and loyalty program credentials.

Apps run client-side: As airline platforms push to mobile first experiences, code is increasingly executed on the browser, widening the attack surface.
