The Squad Apps Security Training is an easily accessible interactive workshop, designed to provide you with the basic knowledge of how Mendix works “under the hood” and to identify risks based upon that. You will learn how to “hack” an insecure Mendix application, which will provide you with insights into what is, and more importantly, what is not secure in Mendix development.
The training is designed and implemented by our team, which came third at their first Mendix CTF appearance in 2023 and took home the win in the 2024 edition, and with the knowledge of implementing a full scale, secure banking application in Mendix. The Mendix CTF event is a hacking challenge, hosted by Mendix which consisted of over 700 contestants.
In 2024, the global average cost of a data breach was just short of 5 million USD. This should give everyone 5 million reasons to put security as a high priority in your application development lifecycle. However, not all developers properly understand the security risks when implementing applications and thus introduce unintended risks.
Choosing for Mendix already mitigates a lot of security risks, since the Mendix platform comes with a thoroughly tested security layer. Nonetheless, we are still building custom software and more often than not, this software is implemented by less technical and more business oriented developers, who are more likely to miss security risks.
Implementing security is always a tradeoff between several factors, such as: level of security, cost, maintainability, performance, etc. The Mendix platform does provide you with the right toolset to implement exactly the right level of security for your application. “The right level of security” is something that should still be assessed per application, as not all applications are banking applications, but also not all applications are only displaying publicly available information.
