The c/side solution runs as a proxy. Customers add a small script from c/side to their webpage, which redirects any third-party script traffic through c/side’s proxy before going to the user. The proxy operates only for third-party scripts and not the entire page, which helps ensure performance is not affected despite traffic being redirected. In fact, because c/side also caches scripts on their edge, it can deliver them faster and improve performance in some cases.
While compliance is a significant driver for this type of solution, c/side has focused heavily on security. The proxy model ensures that known scripts are constantly monitored for any changes leading to malicious activity, as well as providing insights into unknown scripts that might be operating on the webpage. The c/side solution uses both threat intelligence and artificial intelligence to analyze scripts via its proxy. Analysis is also run asynchronously, so if something does initially get through it can be identified as new information becomes available and blocked in future instances.
C/side is available on the AWS marketplace, helping customers to retire platform credits. The solution is available in three versions:
The free tier supports one domain and basic functionality and support.
A Business version is available for $99/month/domain which extends protection to include source analysis, a longer script history period, and automated blocking.
Enterprise pricing is also available, which adds audit logs, as well as additional support resources, reporting, and dashboards, including a purpose-built PCI DSS dashboard view.
