=== Web Security
The http://projects.spring.io/spring-security/[Spring Security] project provides features
to protect web applications from malicious exploits. Check out the reference documentation in the sections on
http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#csrf["CSRF protection"],
http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#headers["Security Response Headers"], and also
http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#mvc["Spring MVC Integration"].
Note that using Spring Security to secure the application is not necessarily required for all features.
For example CSRF protection can be added simply by adding the `CsrfFilter` and
`CsrfRequestDataValueProcessor` to your configuration. See the
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-mvc-showcase/commit/361adc124c05a8187b84f25e8a57550bb7d9f8e4[Spring MVC Showcase]
for an example.
Another option is to use a framework dedicated to Web Security.
http://hdiv.org/[HDIV] is one such framework and integrates with Spring MVC.
