Kylie Stradley - Everything we learned while Implementing ActiveRecord::Encryption - Rails World

@GitHub encrypts your data at rest, as well as specific sensitive database columns. What you may not know is that they recently replaced their in-house db column encryption strategy with ActiveRecord::Encryption, in place. While they were able to complete this transition seamlessly for GitHub’s developers, the process was not quite seamless for our team and some of our customers, and mistakes were made along the way.
Senior Product Security Engineer Kylie Stradley shares why despite the mistakes they feel the migration was worth it for their team, GitHub developers and most importantly, GitHub customers.
