Everyone is now a Developer. What does that mean for Security?
Innovators Trust Zenity to Secure Low-Code/No-Code Development
A New World of Interconnected Modern Business Applications
All over the world, companies of all shapes and sizes are using low-code/no-code development to spur productivity and efficiency. However, low-code/no-code development has dramatically increased the attack surface with the explosion of applications, automations, connections, and integrations that can be spun up in a matter of minutes.
" LCNC platforms will power more than 70% of new apps by 2025 "
" No-code and low-code platforms help reduce app development time by 90% "
There are three things to keep in mind when approaching low-code/no-code development:
Business Continuity
- Lack of visibility for unowned or unmonitored resources
- Misconfigured resources that may cause denial of service
- Critical resources may not have multiple owners, are unmonitored by IT, and typically do not offer an SLA
Security
- Hard-coding secrets and/or embedding user accounts into applications
- Exposing PII by not encrypting the application properly
- Data leakage due to unforeseen communication between applications
Compliance
- Exposing PII or sensitive data that results in a failed audit
- Excessive and implicit sharing of confidential data by granting too many users or groups access to an application, automation, environment, or data connection
- Lack of understanding as to which resources have access to confidential data

"Low-code/no-code represents the democratization of application software empowering traditional business and systems analysts to 'roll their own' software. The challenge to the business is how to ensure that the risks and security challenges associated with adopting low-code/no code solutions are mitigated. Zenity enables governance and risk mitigation while supporting the empowerment of citizen developers. As a former CIO, for a variety of businesses in size and scope, I know how important it is for CIOs and CISOs to stay in front of these shifts - Zenity provides the perfect combination of ease of integration with the tools that users will adopt, monitoring to insure internal and external governance rules are applied."
“Governance and security in low-code/no-code environments is a shared responsibility between the platform providers, users, administrators and information security professionals. Zenity identified this unique problem space and their innovative platform helps to safely promote citizen and business application development.”
“Today's InfoSec and AppSec solutions don’t translate to low-code/no-code applications. The door is wide open for data leaks and breaches. Zenity has stepped up to give those responsible for low-code/no-code platform security a way to close, lock and monitor that door. Zenity’s governance solution brings clarity and familiar governance and security principles to the rapidly expanding low-code/no-code development pipeline that is quickly becoming a given in enterprises.”
