Secure Your Rails Application: The Basics
Yi-Ting "Xdite" Cheng • June 08, 2013 • Singapore • Talk

Security is hard. Everyone wants their sites to be hacker-free. But the truth is: If your sites were hacked, the causes are often because you forgot the basics.

In this talk I will show you:
- Common application design mistakes people make and are not aware of.
- The most vulnerable controller actions that hackers seek.
- The default security mechanism of Rails for these issues and reasons why you should not bypass them.
- And how to write secure codes by default.
