Default ? ways to make truck box more secure ?

ive got the basic tractor supply co diamond plate truck box in bed which is obviously very easy to break into , i never would have bought a diamond plate for that reason but i got it real cheap used so using it til upgrading to a heavier metal type . for now im wondering if anyone has any home made upgrades to make it more secure ?

Does the front push away easily allowing someone to force lock? Maybe bolting a piece of angle iron inside along the edge would stiffen it up.

Photos of what the concern is would help identify problem for members.

I have my toolbox hooked up to my truck alarm so if its opened it will set my alarm off not more secure but will hopefully send the theifs running to the next victim.

A couple buddies of mine have welded brackets and padlocked their boxes, but I think it makes a theif think theres something worth stealing
