CSP Migration Checklist
CSP Migration Checklist
- Audit current resource usage
- Implement CSP in report-only mode
- Analyze violation reports for 2-4 weeks
- Refactor code to eliminate 'unsafe-inline'
- Implement nonce or hash-based approach
- Test with real user traffic
- Monitor performance impact
- Deploy enforcing policy gradually
- Set up ongoing monitoring
- Document policy for team reference
Content-Security-Policy represents a paradigm shift in web security, moving from reactive patching to proactive prevention. While implementation requires effort and ongoing maintenance, the security benefits far outweigh the costs. A well-implemented CSP can prevent most XSS attacks, significantly reducing your application's attack surface and protecting your users from malicious code execution.## X-Frame-Options and Preventing Clickjacking Attacks
Clickjacking represents one of the most deceptive attack vectors in web security, where malicious actors trick users into clicking on something different from what they perceive. The X-Frame-Options header serves as a crucial defense mechanism against these attacks by controlling whether your website can be embedded within frames, iframes, or objects. Understanding and implementing this header correctly can prevent attackers from overlaying your legitimate site with malicious content.
