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.
