How We Protect You

🎯

Clickjacking Protection

We prevent malicious websites from embedding Knotic in invisible iframes to trick you into unwanted actions. Our security headers ensure that only we can display our platform.

Technical Implementation: We use Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers to control where our platform can be embedded.

⚡

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Defense

We protect against malicious scripts being injected into our platform through multiple layers of validation, sanitization, and security headers.

Technical Implementation: Input validation, output encoding, and X-XSS-Protection headers prevent malicious code execution.

🔐

Forced HTTPS Connections

All connections to Knotic are encrypted using HTTPS. We enforce strict transport security to prevent downgrade attacks and ensure your data is always transmitted securely.

Technical Implementation: Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) headers with a 1-year max-age policy.

📄

MIME-Sniffing Prevention

We prevent browsers from incorrectly interpreting file types, which could be exploited to execute malicious code disguised as safe content.

Technical Implementation: X-Content-Type-Options header set to "nosniff".

🔍

Referrer Privacy Protection

We control what information is shared when you navigate away from Knotic, protecting your browsing privacy and preventing information leakage.
