Zenity research team has recently discovered a potential customer data leakage in Storage by Zapier, a service used for simple environment and state storage for Zap workflows. With only a few simple steps and no authentication, we were able to access sensitive customer data. Given the nature of this flaw, it would be easy for bad actors to recreate our approach and access the same sensitive data without significant expertise.

You might think that the majority of cybersecurity breaches result from carefully planned and executed attacks. You may imagine hackers expertly crafting phishing emails to con employees into giving away access to critical systems, for example, or planting state-of-the-art malware on victims' servers. The reality – as Zenity co-founder and CTO Michael Bargury explains in his most recent Dark Reading column – is less interesting, and perhaps more worrying.

Last week Dark Reading released an enterprise application security survey which raised serious concerns by IT and security teams Last week, Microsoft announced a new low-code application service called Power Pages, the fifth service joining the Power Platform. Whether you’re a low-code maker or professional developer, this low-code, scalable, and secure solution empowers you to build business-centric websites quickly and easily.

Dark Reading is a great site to follow if you want to keep up with the latest IT security news and trends. You’ll find plenty of articles on topics like ransomware, supply chain security and insider threats. But one type of security challenge that wasn’t previously covered in a lot of detail on Dark Reading – or on most IT media sites, for that matter – was the risk associated with “citizen development,” an increasingly popular practice within enterprises.

Why Are Low-Code Platforms Becoming the New Holy Grail of Cyberattackers? Low-code/no-code platforms for enterprise are booming. With more and more critical business assets now stored and handled by these platforms, it is essential to understand that low-code often leads to a large attack surface. This article will explore low-code/no-code from an attacker’s perspective to better understand their potential weaknesses and showcase why they are becoming the new holy grail for cybercriminals.

For organizations to be more productive and agile in their development processes, understanding the core differences between low-code and no-code applications and platforms is vital. In this article, we take a closer look at low-code vs no-code, explore the benefits of each, and explain how design flaws and security vulnerabilities in these environments are addressed.

Last week Dark Reading released an enterprise application security survey which raised serious concerns by IT and security teams about the state of low-code/no-code applications. The survey exposed a deep lack of visibility, control and knowledge necessary to maintain the level of security maturity expected in the enterprise. In this blog post, we will look at concrete concerns raised by the survey, examine their root cause and offer recommendations on ways to address them today.

Many low-code applications are built for the purpose of moving data from one place to another usually as a result of some external trigger, such as the arrival of a new email message. In the case of an email-triggering low-code application, if low-code security best practices are not strictly followed, attackers may abuse the application to set rogue automated email forwarding rules, which can be used to steal data, impersonate as corporate users and mount phishing campaigns.

What’s the trick to staying competitive in 2022? The ability to quickly adjust your business models and processes. You need only rewind to 2020 to see why. A worldwide pandemic. The need to create new business models, innovate new business processes, establish new means of interacting with customers… with little warning and small budgets. And all this just to stay afloat. For many of the businesses that succeeded, low-code development solutions were part of their success.

Zenity is proud to be the first and only governance and security platform for low-code/no-code applications, and of the unique path we have traveled to get here. Living and breathing technology in every aspect of our lives, we started as a small, enthusiastic team in love with the idea of application development democratization and what it takes to make sure that it is done securely.
