Securing LCNC and RPA: The Critical Role of Cybersecurity

The rise of low-code/no-code (LCNC) applications and robotic process automations (RPA) marks a significant advancement in technology, empowering citizen developers to quickly create and deploy applications. However, this revolution brings with it a substantial cybersecurity challenge. Security professionals are now grappling with a new frontier: safeguarding the burgeoning number of apps that these platforms generate.

LCNC and RPA platforms, like Microsoft PowerApps, Mendix, OutSystems, UiPath, ServiceNow, and Salesforce, allow business users to create applications and automations that handle sensitive data. Consequently, these apps expose an expanding attack surface, vulnerable to the same threats as conventional software. Yet, the current application security measures fall short in offering adequate protection for these assets.

Moreover, manual security processes cannot keep up with the sheer scale of LCNC applications and RPA automations. A solution to this pressing issue lies in adopting a centralized security, governance, and compliance framework. Organizations must be proactive in tracking and maintaining an updated inventory of these apps, seamlessly managing them within a uniform policy through a single dashboard.

Enter Nokod’s innovative platform, with its vision recently acknowledged through recognition in the “Santander X Global Challenge – Cybersecuring the Future.” As a cybersecurity firm specializing in LCNC app security, Nokod’s platform becomes a beacon for the mandatory oversight needed in this evolving landscape.
