Podchats For FutureCIO: Managing Low-Code/No-Code Risks
FutureCIO, Monday, July 21st, 2025
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape of Asia, low-code/no-code (LCNC) platforms have emerged as a game-changer for enterprises seeking to accelerate innovation amid developer shortages and intense market competition.
These platforms empower business users and citizen developers to rapidly create applications with minimal coding expertise, thereby democratising software development and enabling agility.
However, this acceleration introduces significant security risks, including inadequate access controls, unmanaged integrations, and shadow IT, which can bypass traditional compliance protocols.
For CIOs in Asia, it is critical to proactively embed security early in the LCNC development lifecycle, maintain visibility into decentralised development efforts, and balance governance with innovation to mitigate risks without stifling agility.
