no-code

A new free discovery and lightweight attack surface assessment tool for Microsoft Power Platform aims to address the growing challenge of low-code/no-code (LCNC) shadow engineering.

The tool from Nokod Security offers visibility into LCNC assets created by citizen developers to help security teams know and understand the scale and presence of security risks.

In an era where accessibility is key, companies are increasingly turning to no-code platforms to simplify complex technical processes.

But what fundamental principles should organizations adopt when striving to make intricate technical workflows accessible to a broader audience via no-code? To find out we spoke to Michal Koor, CEO and co-founder of of no-code platform Vectary.

In recent years, enterprises have increasingly turned to low-code and no-code platforms in order to streamline their development processes.

With the introduction of AI, this sector is evolving even faster and Wing To, general manager of Intelligent DevOps at Digital.ai, believes this needs organizations to develop a cautious approach. We spoke to him to find out why.

Data is increasingly the lifeblood of businesses, but according to Gartner, poor data management costs organizations an average of $12.9 million a year.

With the launch of a new AI-powered SaaS platform that simplifies organizing and leveraging data without an engineer, Pliable aims to open up data access to businesses.

Among governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) professionals responding to a new survey, 69 percent say that deploying a GRC platform that doesn't need developer support would improve their role.

The study from Onspring finds that a worrying 73 percent of respondents still needed a developer to update and administer their GRC programs, indicating a clear need for technologies that don't require developer input.

Code-agnostic development is the future of cloud-native applications. Sure, there are plenty of benefits to knowing a coding language inside and out, but the field is evolving beyond the requirements for deep language expertise. As low-code and no-code platforms abstract complexity, developers can focus on higher-level concepts. The ability to jump from language to language will make them more efficient and adaptable.

Software industries evolve by abstracting complexity of lower-level tasks. If done correctly, this leads to better user productivity and outcomes. This movement in development is fueling the new approach to languages, allowing development teams to operate successfully with coding knowledge a mile wide and an inch deep. The trend of multi-lingual developers will propel the industry into the future. Let's take a look at how these experts developed.

According to a November Wall Street Journal article, Gartner predicts global revenue in the low-code application platforms market will exceed $14 billion by 2025. Also, in a Forrester Research poll earlier this year of over 1,800 corporate tech officials at global companies, roughly 37 percent say they currently use low-code, no-code or digital process automation tools.

No-code is undoubtedly having its time in the sun and looks to be here for the long term. We recently caught up with Vinod Kachroo, CEO of no-code technology platform Innoveo, to learn more about what's driving the demand for no-code and what kind of ROI companies can realistically anticipate from it.

Creating apps and automating processes without having to write code has a number of benefits that have become even more attractive during the pandemic. So it's no surprise that Gartner estimates 65 percent of all application development by 2024 will be using low-code or no-code tools.

Of course in the modern world anything important -- and quite a few things that aren't -- needs to have a day. So, in order to raise awareness of the benefits of no-code, today has been declared National No-Code Day -- an initiative started by no-code and AI programming platform Zapier.
