Summary: Low-code/no-code (LCNC) and robotic process automation (RPA) technologies are transforming software development by enabling non-technical users to create applications and automate processes. However, these advancements come with significant security risks that organizations must address to protect their data and operations.
Threat Actor: (insider threat) | insider threat
Victim: (organizations) | organizations
Key Point :
- LCNC and RPA tools can introduce vulnerabilities due to lack of centralized control and oversight.
- Automated data scraping can lead to legal implications and operational failures if external data sources change unexpectedly.
- Establishing internal policies for auditing and traceability of automated processes is critical for security.
- Implementing the principle of least privilege helps mitigate risks associated with user permissions.
- Security training for users and developers is essential to prevent insider threats and ensure adherence to best practices.
