What is Django security?

Basically Django by itself is fairly secure , more so than most other Web frameworks, but you shouldn’t think of it like WordPress or Joomla as it will require you to code to accomplish pretty much anything and code is where exploits form.

By default, Django uses the PBKDF2 algorithm with a SHA256 hash, a password stretching mechanism recommended by NIST. This should be sufficient for most users: it’s quite secure , requiring massive amounts of computing time to break.

Django contains clickjacking protection in the form of the X-Frame-Options middleware which in a supporting browser can prevent a site from being rendered inside a frame . It is possible to disable the protection on a per view basis or to configure the exact header value sent.
