Multiple cybersecurity honors and customer growth highlight cside’s leadership in browser-side protection amid accelerating attacks
cside, which specializes in securing vulnerable web dependencies, announced a wave of industry accolades and market growth, underscoring rising urgency for browser-side protection.
In recent months, cside has earned seven honors—including Cyber Defense Magazine’s Global InfoSec Award for Client-Side Protection, and SourceForge’s Summer 2025 Top Performer Award—for its breakthrough approach to securing the modern web experience.
“Cybercriminals have shifted into the browser, and most traditional web security tools haven’t come close to keeping up,” said Simon Wijckmans, CEO and founder, cside. “We built cside to address the vulnerabilities created by uncontrolled third-party scripts, OAuth abuse, and malicious browser behavior. Our recent industry recognition reflects not just our innovation, but the market’s realization that this threat surface can’t be ignored any longer.”
Recent cside awards include:
- Global InfoSec Award (Cyber Defense Magazine) – Client-Side Protection category
- SourceForge Top Performer Award – for top-tier customer satisfaction
- Cybersecurity Excellence Award – Cybersecurity Entrepreneur of the Year (Wijckmans)
- Stevie Award (Gold) – Executive of the Year in Cybersecurity
- Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe – Technology category (Wijckmans)
- Intellyx Digital Innovator Award
- Infosec Innovator Awards – Finalist, Client-Side Security (winners announce October 28)
The string of security industry award wins is reinforced by cside’s new 2025 Threat Report, which revealed more than 72,000 compromised websites and detailed an escalation in OAuth hijacking, wallet drainers, and SEO poisoning attacks that evade traditional perimeter defenses. Mobile-first campaigns and plugin-based exploits across CMS platforms like WordPress were identified as top vectors.
“Browser-side threats are no longer niche or emerging, they’re fully mainstream,” said Mike Kutlu, Head of GTM, cside. “We’re helping security teams get ahead of these threats with real-time visibility, automated protection, and compliance readiness built into the platform. Our mission is to make this attack surface fully visible, accountable, and defensible.”
cside’s platform uses a hybrid proxy architecture to detect malicious JavaScript, analyze browser behavior in real time, and block threats before data is exfiltrated or user trust is compromised. The platform easily integrates with customers’ existing infrastructure and helps them meet growing compliance demands without degrading web performance.
