Rails Security in the Wild by Matt Konda and Jon Claudius

Recorded December 10, 2012 at ChicagoRuby Downtown

Rails applications can contain real security vulnerabilities. The presenters will show how to improve security in Rails apps, and they will introduce several tools that can be used to help to identify issues during development. The evening will conclude with an abbreviated debate with audience participation: builder vs. breaker.
