HTTP response headers as a security layer

When a server sends an HTTP response, it can include security-focused headers that instruct the browser how to handle the page. These headers act as a second line of defense: even if the application has a vulnerability, the browser policy limits the damage.

Headers are free to add and require no application code changes — just server/proxy configuration.
