Rails security tools

Rails security tools
Fence with locks

Found some good resources for Ruby on Rails security and some new (to me) tools.

Bundler audit. Like Yarn audit, but for Gems. Surprised I didn't know about this one. There is also bin/importmap audit if you're using import maps.

Password strength checker for Device. Ensures passwords are actually strong.

Secure Headers Gem. I usually set up in Nginx, but not as thorough as I should. Plus I like the idea of keeping them in the app.

Here's some more good resources. Definitely worth upping security.
