Get Started with Ruby on Rails: Security and Identity Management

Published on January 20, 2023

New to Ruby on Rails and Auth0 by Okta?

Ruby on Rails is a robust web framework that helps streamline the application development process by being opinionated about what each developer needs to get an application up and running. The Ruby on Rails framework and its ecosystem provides developers with tools to protect their web applications from well-known web vulnerabilities, use cookies securely, protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and much more. You can integrate the Auth0 Identity Platform with Ruby on Rails to deliver a balance between security, privacy, and convenience to your users.

Auth0 handles billions of login transactions each month. That's only possible because Auth0 is committed to solving complex identity problems by empowering developers with tools that meet their unique security needs and requirements.
