Nokod Security, the security company for no-code application development, today announced that it has been profiled in global analyst firm Omdia’s On the Radar series of research notes for its ability to address emerging security risks associated with the rapid enterprise adoption of low-code/no-code (LCNC) platforms. A full copy of the report is available here.
According to Omdia’s Senior Principal Analyst, Rik Turner, “Nokod provides visibility into the LCNC applications already in use within an organization and the vulnerabilities that they contain. The company’s platform enables security teams to oversee the remediation process by routing alerts back to the original creators and monitoring the resolution of issues, empowering organizations to safely harness the benefits of LCNC development.”
Turner emphasized the growing importance of Nokod’s offering, adding, “Omdia sees a clear requirement for the technology this vendor offers,” particularly as the rise of LCNC adoption introduces a phenomenon known as “shadow engineering,” where LCNC applications are created without IT oversight, increasing enterprise risk.
Addressing Security in LCNC Development
The On the Radar report highlights the increasing use of LCNC platforms in enterprise environments. Some forecasts project that up to 70% of business applications could be LCNC-based by 2025. The rapid adoption of LCNC has also led to the rise of shadow engineering, expanding the attack surface in ways that traditional security methods struggle to address. Nokod’s SaaS platform fills this critical gap by offering the following features and capabilities:
- Automatic Discovery and Inventory: Identifies all LCNC apps operating within an organization, including those created outside formal IT processes.
- Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment: Detects security issues such as hardcoded secrets, data leakage risks, and untrusted dependencies.
- Prioritized Remediation Guidance: Provides actionable insights and step-by-step instructions to citizen developers and IT teams.
- Seamless Integration: Delivers an agentless connection to leading LCNC platforms via APIs
The report highlights Nokod’s inspection engine, which effectively addresses the “low-hanging fruit” of LCNC vulnerabilities. This approach helps organizations adopt LCNC platforms confidently while mitigating risks.
