About this listen
In this episode of the Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast, host Chris Steffen and Simon Wijckmans, CEO of C-side, discuss the critical visibility gap in client-side security. While organizations invest heavily in infrastructure and server-side protection, the user's browser remains a largely unmonitored attack vector. Historically, solutions like Content Security Policies and JavaScript agents have proven brittle or easily bypassed by sophisticated scripts that can hide from crawlers or override security hooks.
The conversation highlights a major shift driven by PCI DSS 4.0, which now mandates the monitoring and authorization of client-side scripts. Simon explains that modern browser changes regarding third-party cookies finally support more effective proxy-based approaches. This allows security teams to inspect and block malicious third-party scripts before they reach the end user, preventing data exfiltration like credit card skimming. The hosts urge security professionals to move beyond "head in the sand" tactics, emphasizing that robust browser security is now a regulatory and operational necessity for total asset protection.
