Ruby Developer Focused Application Security Pages

Ruby Application Security

The Ruby developer ecosystem has grown rapidly, in large part due to it's ease of use and frameworks like Rails.

For Rails based applications, primary concerns may be around keeping dependencies up to date, input validation and implementing proper authorization. More details are in the thick client application page .

Sinatra is a different and in some ways simpler web framework for Ruby. See the Sinatra page for more detailed information about Sinatra security.

Ruby is also used to create Gems and Libraries that are embedded in applications or run separately as server processes. Security concerns when writing Ruby libraries is a little different and is covered in the Ruby Gems and Libraries pages.
