By Aparna Achanta, Principal Security Architect at IBM Federal Consulting

Applications developed by citizen developers are on the rise. Low-code and no-code (LCNC) platforms
are reshaping the development ecosystem. These tools are broadening horizons and enabling citizen

These platforms focus on swift development that can automate processes, empowering users with
minimal or no technical knowledge to build their apps innovatively.
