Problem context
Many sites ship with partial security controls and inconsistent anti-abuse configuration.

Approach
Implement layered security across browser headers, reverse proxy, and application throttles.
Implementation
- Set CSP, HSTS, frame-ancestors, nosniff, referrer policy
- Apply rate limits by endpoint risk profile
- Use challenge + honeypot + minimum fill-time for forms
- Log and analyze abuse patterns instead of blanket bot blocking
