Configure Security Headers in Modyo to Strengthen Your Website

In a digital environment where threats are constant, ensuring the security of websites is essential. One of the best ways to protect your applications is through Security Headers, HTTP configurations that act as protective barriers against attacks such as clickjacking, script injections, and unauthorized access to sensitive data.

With Modyo, configuring these headers is a simple process that enhances the security of your projects and ensures adherence to best practices in web development. Below, we’ll explore the key benefits of Security Headers and how to implement them directly in Modyo.

Why Use Security Headers?

Security Headers provide multiple advantages for protecting both users and the integrity of your site. For example, using HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) ensures that browsers only interact with your site through HTTPS connections, preventing data interception attempts. Additionally, Content-Security-Policy (CSP) lets you control which external resources can be loaded on your site, minimizing the risk of malicious code injections.

Another key benefit is the ability to protect user privacy with Referrer-Policy, which restricts the amount of referral information shared when navigating between sites, preventing unnecessary data exposure. These tools mitigate technical risks and build user trust by ensuring they interact in a secure environment.

Commonly Used Security Headers

• HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS): Forces the browser to use HTTPS exclusively for a defined period, ensuring secure connections.
•  Content-Security-Policy (CSP): Controls the resources the browser can load to prevent malicious code injections.
• Referrer-Policy: Defines what referral information is shared when navigating between sites.
• X-Frame-Options: Protects your site from clickjacking attacks by restricting how it can be embedded on other sites.
• Permissions-Policy: Enables or disables access to sensitive browser APIs, such as the camera or microphone.

Configuring Security Headers in Modyo

Setting up Security Headers in Modyo is straightforward, allowing you to customize your site’s behavior to enhance security. In the Modyo control panel:

    •    Access your site and navigate to the settings.

    •    Go to the Security Headers section and activate this functionality if it’s not already enabled.

This action cannot be undone, so careful planning is essential before enabling it.

Modyo supports commonly used Security Headers, and you can find a complete list of supported security headers in our documentation.
