Low-Code, High-Risks: The Hilarious Pitfalls of Automation Overdrive!
Citizen developers are revolutionizing app creation with low-code/no-code platforms, but it’s not all roses. While they dodge the coding headache, they might also be creating a digital minefield. So, before your app starts channeling its inner chaos goblin, ensure your security measures are as robust as your enthusiasm for automation!

Hot Take:
LCNC and RPA: Turning every office worker into a potential software developer might sound like a dream come true, but remember, not every dream ends with flying unicorns. Sometimes, it ends with a data breach and a long meeting with the compliance team. So, while empowering citizen developers is great, maybe keep the keys to the castle under tight security.
Key Points:
- Low-code/no-code (LCNC) and robotic process automation (RPA) are revolutionizing software development but present information security challenges.
- Data scraping, a common use of LCNC and RPA, can lead to legal complications and increased vulnerability if data sources change unexpectedly.
- Robust error handling and exception management are essential to prevent automation failures.
- Implementing internal policies, including detailed logging and the principle of least privilege, can mitigate risks in LCNC and RPA environments.
- Security training for users and developers of LCNC and RPA solutions is crucial to minimize vulnerabilities.
