CSRF Mitigation Techniques

CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) mitigation techniques prevent malicious websites from tricking your browser into performing unwanted actions on another site. Common methods include using anti-CSRF tokens—special randomly generated codes included in forms that validate genuine requests—and ensuring requests are made with proper authentication, like requiring users to re-enter passwords for sensitive actions. Additionally, implementing same-site cookies restricts how cookies are sent across different sites. These measures verify that actions are initiated by the legitimate user and not by malicious sites, protecting your data and online transactions from unauthorized access.
