c/side secures $6M funding to combat browser supply chain attacks

On September 16, 2024, c/side, a cybersecurity firm based in San Francisco, announced it has secured $6 million in seed funding to enhance its tools for monitoring and securing third-party scripts used in web browsers. This funding round was led by Uncork Capital, with contributions from several other venture capital firms. The total funding for c/side now stands at $7.7 million, following an earlier pre-seed round earlier in the year. The company aims to address the growing threat of browser supply chain attacks, which have become more prevalent as businesses increasingly rely on third-party scripts for essential website functions. These scripts often lack proper monitoring and security, making them vulnerable to exploitation by malicious actors. c/side's innovative solution includes an advanced proxy service and an AI-driven detection engine designed to identify and neutralize these threats in real-time. As cyber threats evolve, the need for robust client-side security has become critical. c/side's approach not only enhances website security but also improves overall performance. The company emphasizes that organizations cannot adopt a passive approach to managing third-party scripts, as ongoing visibility and protection are essential to mitigate risks. With the new funding, c/side plans to accelerate the development of its flagship product and expand its capabilities in vulnerability detection. The company is also looking to grow its team to enhance customer service, sales, and marketing efforts, ultimately aiming to make web security more accessible to businesses of all sizes.
