Description:
Ruby-on-Rails makes building web applications deceptively simple, and for most Rails startups, security is usually an afterthought. Through a live coding demonstration, I will demonstrate how thinking from the attacker's perspective can help you protect sensitive data and avoid the pain of a hacking incident.

I worked for the Department of Defense as a cyber security analyst and in private industry as a security consultant for eight years before becoming a full-time Rails developer, which I've been doing for two years. I'm going to combine both sides of my background and make this a really fun, interesting presentation!

Live hacking fun! I hope you don't divulge any national security secrets.

I think this is vital information for Rails Developers, with so much conforming going on in the framework, a single exploit could affect a ton of sites. I'd like to stay ahead of the curve here and would love to listen.
