C/side, a cybersecurity startup, has exited stealth mode with $1.7 million raised in a pre-seed funding round led by Scribble Ventures and supported by angel investors. Specializing in securing the browser supply chain, C/side offers tools to monitor, optimize, and secure third-party scripts in browsers, aimed at protecting users from vulnerabilities and zero-day attacks. The startup emphasizes full visibility into browser scripts, using AI for autonomous detection and caching to improve script performance.
With a focus on real-time monitoring, C/side provides insights into script payloads and alerts against unauthorized changes, particularly targeting Magecart attacks. Unlike traditional threat intelligence methods, C/side combines AI with historical context to analyze script behavior comprehensively. The platform monitors over 70 script attributes daily across numerous sites, processing up to one million scripts, supporting ecommerce sites in securing online transactions and ensuring compliance.
C/side plans to use its new funding to advance product development, expand partner programs, and strengthen market outreach efforts. Founder and CEO Simon Wijckmans highlights their innovative approach in handling third-party scripts through an advanced proxy service, enhancing both security and website performance significantly by up to 30%.
