You have complete trust in your application (as the owner), correct? That is something that we all do. But, when it comes to your customers, do they feel the same way? It is not easy to gain trust. You must earn the users’ trust by making them feel “really” secure. You need to be really careful when it comes to your application’s security, as committing even a small mistake will give a very bad impression to your customers.
Having more than a decade of extensive experience in custom software development, we at Mallow, consistently urge our potential and existing clients to prioritise the security of their applications, as handling customer data is a sensitive matter.
As an application owner, you must always be on your toes when it comes to keeping your application entirely secured. After going through this article, you will get an overview of how you can validate the security of your Ruby on Rails application and why keeping your application secured is essential.
What is the need to validate the security of my Ruby on Rails application?
Validating the security of your Ruby on Rails application is essential because it helps to ensure that your application is protected against potential security vulnerabilities and attacks.
Some reasons why you should validate the security of your Ruby on Rails application:
1. Reputation
Security breaches can severely damage the reputation of your business. Customers are becoming increasingly aware of the risks of data breaches and are more likely to use services that they trust. Imagine your application’s data getting leaked, and you start losing your customers. That would cost you money and more than money – your company’s goodwill.
2. Cost Savings
Recovering from a security breach can be problematic. This can include the cost of legal fees, damage to reputation, and lost revenue. Validating the security of your Ruby on Rails application’s security regularly can help identify potential vulnerabilities early on, reducing the risk of costly security breaches.
3. Avoid Penalties
When you manage the data of your application’s users, you are responsible for adhering to various regulations throughout the world (for example, GDPR, PCI DSS, and so on). Failing to comply with those regulations will result in heavy penalties.
