Most no-code/low-code platforms leverage connections as first-class objects. This means connections between applications, other users, or entire organizations. Applications can also be shared with users who should not have access to their underlying data. This course is designed to educate NICE Workforce's Software Developer, Cyber Defense Infrastructure Support Specialist, Vulnerability Assessment Analyst, and Systems Requirements Planner roles to mitigate the risks associated with LCNC Authorization Misuse.
