Developing applications using low code platforms has gained popularity in recent years due to its ability to accelerate the software development process. However, with increased speed and efficiency comes the need for robust security measures to protect sensitive data and ensure a safe user experience. In this article, we will explore the best practices and strategies for enhancing low code application security.

Managed service providers (MSPs) are an attractive target for cybercriminals because of the large amount of sensitive data they handle and their access to their customers' critical infrastructure. A recent survey revealed that 78% of MSPs consider cybersecurity to be their biggest challenge, which has risen considerably from 67% last year. This trend highlights how important it is for MSPs to invest in innovative cybersecurity solutions and train skilled personnel to protect against new threats.

Big businesses carving out their place in the digital age find themselves in a constant battle against cybersecurity threats. Despite their access to state-of-the-art technology and substantial financial resources, these commercial giants are not impervious to attacks. The complexity of their networks and the voluminous data they handle magnify their attractiveness as targets for cybercriminals.

New data shows that the attacks IT feels most inadequate to stop are the ones they’re experiencing the most. According to Keeper Security’s latest report, The Future of Defense: IT Leaders Brace for Unprecedented Cyber Threats, the most serious emerging types of technologies being used in modern cyber attacks lead with AI-powered attacks and deepfake technology. By itself, this information wouldn’t be that damning.

Going to a vendor's Knowledge Base (KB) is often the first place practitioners go to get the product deployed or troubleshoot issues. Even with advanced search tools, historically, KBs have been challenging to find relevant content quickly, and navigating a KB can be frustrating. At Salt Security, not only do we want to make your job of securing APIs easier, but we also want to make getting the guidance you need easier, friendlier and more efficient.

In the evolving landscape of software development, where dependencies and third-party packages are increasingly baked into the fabric of our applications, understanding and managing the risk associated with these components has become paramount.

The ever-evolving cybersecurity threat landscape make the competent authorities adapt to reality by establishing new security regulations and laws. According to Forbes Advisor in 2023, there were more than 2K cyberattacks with more than 340 million victims all around the world, which made a significant increase of 72 % in data breaches since 2021.

APIs are foundational to modular application development. They support an organization’s internal services as well as provide a mechanism for customers to access certain services or datasets for their own applications. Because of the role that both internal and public-facing APIs play in applications, they are considered one of the top targets for threat actors.
