When should you use content security policy?

Content Security Policy (CSP) is an important security feature that helps protect web applications from various types of attacks, such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks. It allows you to specify which content sources are trusted, thereby reducing the risk of malicious content being executed in the browser.

You should consider implementing a CSP in the following scenarios:

• When developing applications that handle sensitive data (e.g., personal information, financial data).
• When integrating third-party services or APIs that might inject scripts into your application.
• When your web application is accessible to a wide user base, increasing the likelihood of targeted attacks.
• When you want to ensure compliance with industry regulations or best practices regarding web security.

By using CSP, you can significantly improve the security posture of your web applications and protect your users from potential threats.
