# Application Security

Application security is a top priority for government technology application development, which is why the Rails framework's security helper methods and countermeasures help speed up secure application delivery. However, the framework isn't useful by itself; its helper methods and configurations only work if they are used properly. This document uses the Rails Guide to [Securing Rails Applications](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html) to audit the template's use of Rails security best practices. This is meant to be a living document and should be updated as additional security tools and configurations are implemented, as well as when new vulnerabilities are discovered or introduced.

Areas for improvement are marked with `TODO` that describe a security implementation. They should be accompanied by a comment in the codebase referencing the action needed, like `# **TODO:** sanitize input to protect against SQL injection`.
