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.
