Sophisticated client-side attacks use conditional logic that only triggers under specific circumstances - certain geographic locations, specific times, or particular user behaviors. Since WAFs analyze requests at delivery time rather than execution time, they can't detect these conditional payloads. A script might appear completely benign when your WAF examines the initial request, but turn malicious only when specific conditions are met in the user's browser environment.
Can cside work alongside my existing WAF without conflicts?
We monitor an entirely different dimension of the application stack; hence, there is no interference.
Does cside's JavaScript proxy add latency like a WAF does to all traffic?
cside only adds 8-20 milliseconds to specific dynamic JavaScript files we proxy, with static scripts cached for faster loading.
How does cside's approach compare to the complexity of managing a WAF?
cside is much simpler because we're only handling JavaScript files, not your entire web infrastructure.
What happens if cside's proxy goes down? Will my website break?
Your website will continue working as intended with our fail-open design and 99.99% uptime SLA.
