HTTP Header Hardening

Objective: Protect the web server and end-users from common browser-based exploits by enforcing strict security headers at the proxy level.

Implementation:

• Clickjacking Protection: Set X-Frame-Options to SAMEORIGIN to prevent the site from being rendered in unauthorized frames.

• MIME-Type Security: Enforced X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff to prevent browsers from interpreting files as a different MIME type than intended.

• Referrer Control: Implemented Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin to protect user privacy during cross-origin requests.

• Feature Restriction: Used Permissions-Policy to disable browser features (like camera and geolocation) that the site does not require.
