What you'll learn

Modern Python web applications are often built with strong backend logic, yet remain vulnerable at the client-side where user input is rendered into browser-executable content. In this course, Web Client Security for Python, you’ll gain the ability to identify and prevent client-side vulnerabilities in real-world Python web applications. First, you’ll explore how template engines like Jinja2 and Django templates can introduce risks such as XSS and injection when misused. Next, you’ll discover how to protect user interactions using CSRF defenses and secure cookie configurations. Finally, you’ll learn how to enforce browser-level protections like Content Security Policy (CSP) and Subresource Integrity (SRI) to strengthen your application against modern attack vectors. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of web client security needed to build secure-by-default Python web interfaces that withstand real-world threats.
