The Zero Trust security market is expected to be worth $88.8bn by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate of just over 16%. And this investment is urgent: according to research, 98% of CISOs expect cyber attacks to increase over the next three years. These attacks can have huge consequences: US financial services firm Equifax incurred $1.4bn in settlements after a single vulnerability in a web application was exploited by hackers.

Beskar is a Rails engine that fills that gap with layered protection: WAF that detects vulnerability scanning patterns (WordPress, config files, path traversal) Impossible travel detection using geolocation and Haversine calculations Smart rate limiting that identifies attack patterns (brute force, credential stuffing, distributed attacks) Risk-based account locking with automatic responses Persistent IP banning with escalating durations Installation is deliberately simple - drop it in your Gemfile, run the installer, add one line to your User model. Runs in monitor-only mode by default so you can tune thresholds before blocking real traffic.

AI-assisted developers produced three to four times more code than their unassisted peers, but also generated ten times more security issues. "Security issues" here doesn't mean exploitable vulnerabilities; rather, it covers a broad set of application risks, including added open source dependencies, insecure code patterns, exposed secrets, and cloud misconfigurations. As of June 2025, AI-generated code had introduced over 10,000 new "security findings" per month in Apiiro's repository data set, representing a 10x increase from December 2024, the biz said.

Scary, right? In 2025, the average data breach hits businesses with a whopping $4.44 million bill globally. And guess what? A big chunk of these headaches comes from app security slip-ups, like web attacks that snag credentials and wreak havoc.
