Upcoming Webinar: Q&A with a QSA - PCI DSS 6.4.3 & 11.6.1 (cside x MegaplanIT)

Client-side Intelligence for Crypto & DeFi

In crypto, one compromised script can drain user wallets in seconds. Get the intelligence to monitor browser threats and block attacks in real-time.

Your User's Browser Is Where Funds Are Lost

Interception of wallet connections, modification of transaction parameters, or theft of private keys directly from the browser are some of the things that malicious scripts can do. Oftentimes, when users start noticing suspicious activities, their funds are already gone.

Modern websites use numerous third-party scripts for analytics, price feeds, widgets, and marketing tools. One thing they all share in common is the fact that they execute JavaScript in your users' browsers. Bad actors only need to compromise one dependency to wreak havoc on your entire platform.

Some attacks are designed to evade traditional security tools to target high-value transactions. Think of attacks on npm packages, CDNs, and even wallet SDKs to inject malicious code.

Regardless if the attack came from a third-party script, you will still find yourself being blamed for a security breach on your platform, especially if users lose funds. Both your reputation and user trust are at stake.

With cside:
Block wallet drainers and transaction manipulation
Monitor every script for malicious behavior

How cside Protects Your Crypto Exchange

Client-Side Intelligence

cside monitors the activity of every script, preventing malicious code from stealing wallet or payment data.

Automated PCI DSS Compliance

PCI 6.4.3 & 11.6.1 requirements with script inventory, change detection, justifications, and audit-ready reports.

Privacy Monitoring

Identify what personal data each third-party script has access to and where it's sent. Stay compliant with GDPR and prevent PII leaks.

Chargeback Dispute Evidence

Reduce friendly fraud (chargebacks) with device fingerprinting as evidence to block disputes.

Why Attackers Target Crypto Platforms:

High value transactions make every compromised browser session a lucrative target

Registration flows KYC and personal data that can be harvested

Third party services (trading widgets, analytics, integrations) expand the attack surface

Client-side scripts often touch wallet IDs, private keys, and addresses

Don't Wait for Users to Lose Funds

"cside tells me everything I need to know about a script, and makes sure they are safe to show to the user. It's really made me realize how big of a problem 3rd party script security is, and there are no other solutions I've tried that dive as deep as cside."

- Joseph M, Software Engineer

Our experts can conduct a client-side vulnerability assessment and show you how to protect your crypto platform from client-side attacks.

Common Client-Side Attacks on Crypto Platforms

01

Wallet Drainers

These are scripts that can intercept wallet connections and drain funds. They can do this by either modifying transaction parameters or stealing private keys.

02

Transaction Manipulation

There are malicious code that can change recipient addresses, amounts, or smart contract interactions in real-time.

03

Software Supply Chain

Malicious codes are injected into your dApp through compromised npm packages, wallet SDKs, or Web3 libraries.

04

Clipboard Hijacking

Your copied wallet addresses can be replaced with attacker-controlled addresses if a malicious code is set to monitor your clipboard.

05

Session Hijacking

Unauthorized access to user accounts and trading capabilities can happen when attackers steal your session tokens.

06

Phishing Injections

Injected fake wallet connection prompts or approval requests on your page can trick users into signing malicious transactions.

How cside Outperforms Alternatives

cside delivers advantages traditional tools can't match.

vs. Crawler-Based Solutions
vs. Content-Security Policy (CSP)
vs. Client-Side Agents
Sees real user behavior, not sanitized crawler views Monitors script payloads, not just sources Undetectable monitoring attackers can't bypass
Catches attacks aimed at specific segments Detects breaches at trusted third-party providers Complete historical script behavior tracking
Detects threats between periodic scans Handles dynamic scripts CSPs can't control Future-proof against evolving techniques

Frequently Asked Questions

We monitor all JavaScript execution in real-time and detect any attempt to access wallet APIs or modify transaction parameters. Malicious patterns are identified using our behavioral analysis, preventing funds from being stolen.

The answer is yes. We track every script loaded on your platform. This includes npm packages and Web3 SDKs. We can immediately detect a compromised dependency as malicious behavior and block it before it reaches users.

We work with all major wallet providers. This includes MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase, and others. Browser-level interactions are monitored, regardless of which wallet your users choose.
