Content Security Policy – Protection Against Modern Web Attacks
What is a Content Security Policy?
A Content Security Policy (CSP) is a security mechanism that instructs the browser on which content (e.g., scripts, stylesheets, images) is allowed to be loaded and executed. It specifically prevents harmful content that could be injected by attackers.
Goals of the Content Security Policy
- Protection Against Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
- Code Injection Prevention
- Control over third-party scripts
- Improving the overall safety of your website
What Happens Without a Content Security Policy?
The lack of a Content Security Policy can have serious consequences for your web application and its users:
Injected Malicious Code by Third Parties
Attackers use XSS vulnerabilities to manipulate websites.
Data theft via malicious scripts
User data such as logins or payment information is intercepted.
Damage to reputation and loss of trust
Security incidents negatively impact your brand.
A well-defined Content Security Policy can significantly reduce these risks. concentrade supports you with technical expertise and strategic foresight.
