In today’s digital workplaces, more employees are building their own applications by generating code using Low Code No Code (LCNC), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Model (LLM) tools instead of manually writing lines of code.
These employees are called vibe coders. Vibe Coders prompt LCNC and AI tools using natural language prompts to generate code based on their unique requirements.
The first part of our two-part blog series, “The Hidden Dangers of Low/No-Code and Vibe Coding Platforms”, will focus on security challenges of LCNC and Vibe Coding. We share steps to ensure LCNC and Vibe Coded apps are safe for business use.
Vibe Coders can be citizen developers with no formal programming skills and can come from many different fields—such as healthcare, education, and finance. While they are experts in their own jobs, they are not always trained in security best practices.
LCNC development and Vibe coding enables employees to use technology to tackle everyday problems by themselves, without relying on their IT department or software development teams.
The role of vibe coders
Vibe coders bring fresh ideas and speed to businesses. However, because many of them don’t have formal IT or cybersecurity training, their work can put businesses at risk if not managed properly.
These people build apps to fix workplace problems without needing IT support. They use LCNC and LLM platforms to automate tasks and keep track of information. This also helps them enhance workflows they’re familiar with since they work with them daily.
Their work helps companies move faster, cut costs, and innovate without waiting in long IT queues. They help close gaps that IT teams often don’t have the capacity to address.
