CSP allows you to take strict control over exactly what resources are allowed to load on your site. With full control over script that can execute on your origin, you can effectively prevent attacks like those carried out by Magecart.
It's important to understand that in scenarios like a server compromise, CSP, and other technologies, can't help us. With full control over the page the attackers can't be stopped.
Many sites that were hit by Magecart would have been better off if they'd had a CSP in place. Not only can we control where script can be loaded from, we can also control what script can be loaded with the addition of integrity checking.
