# Set Xframe options to prevent embedding third-party websites

Configure this property to prevent the content of a web-application from being embedded in a third-party site.

If the **com.glide.cs.embed.xframe\_options** system property is not set to the recommended value of `DENY` or `SAMEORIGIN`, then content of the web application could be embedded in a third-party site using an ALLOW-FROM URI.

Ensure the property **com.glide.cs.embed.xframe\_options** is set to `DENY` or `SAMEORIGIN`.
