How would i globally secure all my controllers (except for my Login controller) to ensure my application is secure at all points (no hidden backdoor to ajax calls, etc). I t

Answer 1

Well, you need to have an entry point to your system :)

This can be achieved by extending Zend_Controller_Action, let's say:

abstract class MyController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
  public function preDispatch(){
    // do the logic
  }
} 

And now each of your controllers only needs to extend MyController and you're secure.
