Configuring Security Headers and HTTPS
Harden your production Spring app with HTTP security headers, HSTS, and enforced HTTPS to defend against common transport and browser-based attacks.
Defense at the Transport Layer
Even a well-secured backend is exposed if traffic travels unencrypted or the browser mishandles your responses. Security headers and HTTPS close these gaps at the transport and browser layer.
Why HTTPS Is Non-Negotiable
Over plain HTTP, tokens and credentials can be read or modified by anyone on the network. HTTPS encrypts traffic and verifies the server identity, and is mandatory wherever JWTs travel.
