Cross-site scripting (XSS) is one of the major threats against web applications, with successful attacks every day. In this course, Defeating Cross-site Scripting with Content Security Policy, you'll learn how to put an end to this and other threats against your applications. First, you'll learn about the W3C standard Content Security Policy (CSP), which versions exist and features they bring. Next, you'll develop an understanding of how CSP restricts what content the browser is allowed to load and execute. Finally, you'll explore exactly how to use this approach to secure your sites. When you're finished with this course, you'll be ready to apply CSP to your web applications, and protect them from XSS and other attacks.
