Web Security Essentials

Protect your users and applications from common threats.

HTTPS Everywhere

Always use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit. This protects user credentials, session tokens, and sensitive data from interception.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Prevent XSS by sanitizing user input, escaping output, and using Content Security Policy (CSP) headers. Never trust user-provided data.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Protect against CSRF attacks by using anti-CSRF tokens, checking referrer headers, and requiring re-authentication for sensitive actions.

Security Headers

Implement security headers like X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Strict-Transport-Security, and Content-Security-Policy to add layers of protection.
