Citizen Developer: The Threat From Within
As AI adoption accelerates, a new security risk is emerging from inside organizations, driven not by attackers, but by well-intentioned employees. Across the business, teams are rapidly building AI-powered applications, workflows, and automations using low-code/no-code platforms, custom scripts, and MCP servers.
These “citizen developers” are accelerating innovation, but often without the security controls and visibility that traditional development teams rely on. While citizen development is designed to be safe and governed through IT-approved tools, the introduction of AI models, APIs, and MCP servers fundamentally changes the risk profile.
AI-enabled citizen development can introduce unauthorized data access, prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, AI poisoning, and invisible API exposure, often without security teams realizing these vulnerabilities exist.
In this webinar, we explore:
- How citizen-built AI apps and MCP servers are creating real vulnerabilities—right now
- How citizen-built AI introduces silent data leakage, prompt injection, and invisible API exposure
- How to regain visibility and control without slowing innovation
- How Salt helps security teams identify, monitor, and secure AI-driven APIs and MCP environments
Secure citizen development in the age of AI so your business can innovate safely, confidently, and at speed.
