Your User's Browser Is the Attack Surface
Your servers and APIs are protected by traditional security tools, but they are blind to what's happening in the browser. Before they even get to your backend, user credentials, session tokens, and sensitive data are valuable information that can be stolen by malicious scripts.
Analytics platforms, customer support widgets, marketing tools, and payment processors all execute JavaScript in your users' browsers. A breach in any one of these can compromise your entire application.
You are required to protect user data from unauthorized access inline with SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27002, and GDPR. This protection includes data in the browser, but most SaaS companies are blind into client-side threats.
Trusted libraries and SDKs are compromised when attackers target the software supply chain. Introduction of malicious code into your application can happen when you update a dependency.
cside's architecture provides full client-side protection that integrates smoothly with your SaaS application, giving you visibility and control over every script running in your users' browsers.
How cside Protects SaaS Platforms
Client-Side Intelligence
cside monitors the activity of every script, blocking malicious code from reaching users on your platform or workflows.
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 Evidence
Generate device fingerprints to prove legitimate subscription sign-ups and prevent friendly fraud chargebacks from customers claiming unauthorized transactions.
Why Attackers Target SaaS Platforms:
Access to user credentials, API keys, and business data across multiple customers
Integrations with multiple third-party services increase attack entry points
Onboarding forms collect sensitive business information
Modern web apps serve more code in the browser, widening the attack surface.
Secure Your SaaS Platform Before It's Too Late
"cside security gives us the visibility we need into our client-side attack surface. We can now proactively identify and mitigate threats before they impact our users."
Let our experts show you how to protect your SaaS platform from client-side attacks and data breaches.
Common Client-Side Attacks on SaaS Platforms
Session Hijacking
Malicious scripts steal session tokens and authentication cookies, allowing attackers to impersonate legitimate users
Data Exfiltration
Compromised scripts capture sensitive business data, user information, and proprietary data displayed in the browser
Software Supply Chain
Attackers compromise trusted npm packages, analytics libraries, or SDK providers to inject malicious code into your application
Expired Domains
Scripts from expired or abandoned domains can be purchased by attackers and modified to steal data
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Attackers inject malicious scripts through user inputs or API vulnerabilities to steal credentials or perform unauthorized actions
Formjacking
Malicious code intercepts form submissions to steal login credentials, payment information, or other sensitive data
Keylogging
Scripts that record every keystroke in the browser, capturing passwords, credit card numbers, and confidential information
Cryptocurrency Mining
Hidden scripts that use your users' computing resources to mine cryptocurrency, degrading performance and user experience
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 |
