Security News > 2022 > February > Low code applications are essential for cybersecurity development in applications

One of the biggest changes to the cybersecurity landscape is that developers are now often expected to implement security directly into the applications they're building as part of the automated development lifecycle, rather than relying on security or ops teams configuring policies for them after they are built.

With low code applications, developers can save time otherwise spent on learning security standards and policies in detail and spend more of their time on the core business.

Low code applications help streamline the security verification and deployment process by allowing security code to be integrated into the system early and through frequent updates.

Low code tools can also help companies develop a "Plan B" of sorts should a security arise.

Low code tools can provide security protections for businesses by including monitoring to quickly recognize account or department IDs that have been breached, giving security professionals the ability to disable authenticated IDs quickly.

While low code may be a developer tool, its implications for security mean that CSOs and CISOs should encourage its secure adoption within their organizations and work with their developer teams to ensure these best practices get put in place.
