Rails Security

Acerca de

Rails Security provides a robust framework for hardening Ruby on Rails applications by integrating industry-standard tools like Pundit for authorization and Lockbox for data protection. It guides developers through setting up searchable encryption with Blind Index, configuring secure authentication via Devise, and implementing preventative measures against common threats like SQL injection and XSS. By incorporating security-first workflows—including automated scanning with Brakeman and dependency auditing—this skill ensures that sensitive data remains protected and applications adhere to modern security best practices.
