Enhancing Security in Elixir Applications

Holden Oullette presents a talk that focuses on the security aspects of the Elixir programming language during ElixirConf US 2024. He emphasizes that while Elixir provides strong security features by default, it is not immune to security issues. The talk explores the multiple dimensions of security that developers must consider beyond just coding, including the libraries and tools used in developing Elixir applications. Oullette highlights the existing security deficiencies both in Elixir itself and its ecosystem, aiming to inform the community about overlooked security challenges in application development. He also calls on the community to take action to address these vulnerabilities, thus positioning Elixir as a robust choice for secure application development.
