Securing Rails

The document outlines a presentation by Alex Payne at RailsConf Europe 2006 focusing on security practices for Ruby on Rails applications. It emphasizes a whole-stack approach to security, covering web servers, databases, and physical facilities, while addressing common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and cross-site request forgery. Payne advocates for security by convention and encourages integrating security into the development cycle and testing processes.
