Mendix Capture the Flag: Why AI Makes App Security Non-Negotiable

Capture the Flag isn’t just a challenge; it’s a security wake-up call. Low-code lets you build fast, but without the right mindset, you can just as quickly create an unsafe app. That’s why Mendix Capture the Flag (CTF) has evolved into a global security movement with over 700 participants, satellite locations worldwide, and hands-on challenges that force every developer to think like a hacker before the hackers think of you. In my first-ever group episode of the Drag & Drop Podcast, I was joined by Jan de Vries , Community Manager at Mendix , René van Hofwegen from Low-Code Academy , Mitchel Mol , CTO of Blue Green Solutions , and Dirk van Veen , Founder of The S-Unit . Together, we explored why CTF is more than a competition; it’s how the Mendix ecosystem is building a security-first culture in the AI era. Key takeaways: 🔘 Platform security vs. app security and why developers must own the second 🔘 How learning to hack makes you a stronger builder 🔘 Insider tips for winning more flags 🔘 Why even junior devs can (and should) join CTF 🔘 How satellite locations strengthen global collaboration 🔘 Why AI makes security awareness non-negotiable and much more.... 👉🏾Whether you’re a Mendix beginner or an enterprise leader, this conversation shows why security is everyone’s responsibility and why events like CTF accelerate both learning and community.
