Why cside Succeeds Where Others Fail
Traditional security approaches face major limitations that bad actors exploit: content security policies (CSPs), crawlers and JavaScript agents. They may only detect clean scripts, slow down your website, or completely overlook dynamic threats that detonate for specific users, times, devices or locations.
cside's Security Advantage:
Real-time Protection
Monitors script behavior in the browser and analyzes scripts on cside's infrastructure in real time
Complete Visibility
Analyzes exactly what each visitor's browser executes
AI-Powered Analysis
Surfaces sophisticated threats that traditional tools miss
100% Historical Tracking
Records every script payload for rapid incident response
Dynamic Detection
Detect targeted attacks that only occur for specific users, times, or locations
Bypass Protection
Defeats CSP evasion, shadow DOM tricks, and obfuscated code
Make PCI DSS 4.0.1 Easy
PCI DSS 4.0.1 requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 compel businesses to protect client-side Javascript on their site (1st party, 3rd party and dependencies of 3rd parties). cside takes care of you and continuously discovers and catalogs every script on your payment pages. When new scripts appear, AI generates business justifications automatically. Weekly audit reports are delivered to your inbox in PDF format, ready for QSA compliance reviews.
Through this comparative analysis, VikingCloud observed that the proper implementation of the cside platform effectively mitigates attacks specific to the scenarios targeted by PCI DSS requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1.
