I am not too active or up to date on security, I assume you already 
looked at:


http://www.web2py.com/book/default/chapter/01#Security

and at the end of the section it referenced generic python security here:

Rufus,

I am asking how to configure web2py for maximum security.

I am not an expert either but you cannot be too careful.

I am just looking for general good sources of info.

Also, back in August Massimo posted this:

 About security (a). You cannot beat the security of web2py. Friday I am 
 giving a talk at OWASP in Orange County about this. I will post slides. The 
 University where I teach was one of the first in the country to receive a 
 certificate of excellence from the NSA. This was not about web2py but this 
 is to say we are security experts.

 
URL:https://groups.google.com/d/msg/web2py/jao7o735bBM/YtFeclUntwcJ

Also note that web2py takes care of several security issues that other 
environments leave to the individual developer, who might not be trained to 
think of security issues.

(OWAPS-OC is a local chapter of *The Open Web Application Security Project *.  
You might see if you have a chapter in your area, or browse for their 
materials.  The chapter link is
