Summary

CSP is a W3C standard that helps defend web applications against cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and other code injection attacks by specifying which types of resources are allowed to load on a site and where those resources can come from. CSP reporting provides critical visibility into violations, allowing developers to build effective policies and ensure they are configured correctly. Datadog helps collect CSP reports, enabling the detection and analysis of violations that may be degrading end-user experience. The platform also supports security rules to automatically notify users about noteworthy trends in CSP violations, which can be triggered by problematic deployments or misconfigurations. By leveraging CSP reporting with Datadog, developers can get immediate visibility into violations, build effective policies, and ensure their web applications remain secure.
