Rails Authentication for Compliance
The first line of defense should be to put rate-limiting on your login endpoints. rack-attack can help with that. I recommend to limit the login attempts to 5 per minute for a username and block the IP for 30 minutes. You should also limit the number of login attempts from the same IP address, but this needs to be adjusted to the application you are working on, because if it is a tool used in classrooms, it might be legit to have 50 logins within a few minutes from the same IP. (I have a few post written about rack-attack)

What is happening once you launch and open a Rails app to the real, wild web
https://github.com/rack/rack-attack#fail2ban
It's entirely normal and expected. If your site gets any traction, volume and sophistication of probing will only increase. I recommend starting by setting up Rack Attack (https://github.com/rack/rack-attack), that will help you block the bad actors for awhile, if the volume gets high enough you'll want to start blocking traffic upstream in reverse proxy or load balancing layer, depending on architecture.

Using Action Policy for a Ruby on Rails App: The Basics
As much as this article is about user authorization, there's something important we need to cover: user authentication. Without it, any authorization policies we try to define later on will be useless. But there is no need to write authentication from scratch. Let's use Devise.
