Security audits are an essential aspect of an organization’s approach to data defense, especially when threats are moving and growing daily.

With the democratization of application development, users can now quickly create powerful applications without deep coding skills using AI copilots and low-code/no-code development tools. However, this ease of use can also introduce vulnerabilities, especially since many new developers aren’t well-versed in low-code application security best practices.

In today’s evolving threat landscape, Zero Trust Architecture has emerged as a significant security framework for organizations. One influential model in this space is the Zero Trust Model, attributed to John Kinderbag. Inspired by Kinderbag’s model, we explore how our advanced solution can effectively align with the principles of Zero Trust.
