Claims that security managers and CSP are widely neglected despite low performance cost; a scan finds 2.7% of top 500 sites send CSP (mostly weak). Built a tool called pi that runs in learn mode, auto-generates and simplifies policies (example: a generated policy shrinks to 1800→80 lines), plugs into CI as a maven plugin, and in a demo effectively blocks RCE from a Struts2 OGNL exploit. Manual Tomcat tuning otherwise takes dozens of painful iterations.
