Browsers may display this website's content in frames. This can lead to clickjacking attacks.
Using secure cookies reduces the risk of third parties intercepting information contained in these cookies.
Ensuring the server information header is not exposed reduces the ability of attackers to exploit certain vulnerabilities.
Information about specific technology used on the server is obscured.
The Content Security Policy does not allow any insecure active sources.
A Content Security Policy is implemented to help protect against XSS and clickjacking attacks.
