As evidently the only open source vendor recognized in  Forrester’s Now Tech: General-Purpose Low-Code Development Platforms, Q1 2021 report , the Joget team is pleased to further demonstrate its  commitment to open source  with the formation of  JogetOSS , a community-led team for open source software related to the  Joget no-code/low-code application platform .  The core Joget platform has always been freely available as an  open source project  since its inception in 2009. Whether for  no-code, low-code or pro-code  users, flexibility and extensibility has always been a core focus of the platform. Having surpassed the  200,000 open source edition downloads milestone  in 2019, JogetOSS aims to ensure that plugins and functionality outside of the core platform will also be made available as open source projects. Moreover, projects under JogetOSS will be made available under the more permissible  Apache License, Version 2....

Introduction to Security Benefits and Risks in Low-Code Platforms As digitalization becomes increasingly prevalent, low-code platforms are rapidly gaining adoption across industries. Employing visual techniques to programming, they enable the development and delivery of applications in a fraction of the time required by traditional coding. According to Forrester’s Now Tech: General-Purpose Low-Code Development Platforms, Q1 2021 , low-code platforms are “vital to digital business” and “proven in even the most mission-critical use cases”. However, the proliferation of apps and digital solutions bring with it increased cybersecurity risks like phishing attempts and ransomware attacks. As the SolarWinds hack in 2020 and Microsoft Exchange hack in 2021 demonstrated, the cost of security lapses can be monumental. Security considerations are therefore paramount, so how would they apply to low-code platforms? Source:  Don’t Ignore Security In Low-Code Development, Forrester Research Inc...

As a leading open source low-code application platform, Joget supports the most popular single sign-on (SSO) authentication standards such as OpenID Connect, SAML and Kerberos. This article is a brief introduction to SSO, its benefits and how it works. What Is Single Sign-on (SSO)? Single sign-on (SSO) is the ability for users to access multiple applications or systems by using a single login. Just like how Facebook, Google or Apple accounts are increasingly used to access many different consumer services, SSO in an enterprise environment is becoming a critical requirement. Why Is SSO Important? Reason #1 Security and Compliance Increased digitalization and workflow process automation mean that organizations face a proliferation of new applications. The more apps and credentials there are, the higher the risk of security threats, phishing attempts and ransomware attacks. SSO reduces these security risks and helps with regulatory compliance around authentication and data access. Reason...

Recently, there have been questions from customers, partners and the community asking for comparisons between Joget Workflow and Microsoft SharePoint .  Actually, the two products are not competing, but in fact complement each other. SharePoint is a web application portal platform for team collaboration, intranets and enterprise document and content management.  While it is possible to extend the capabilities of SharePoint, developing apps for SharePoint is not easy as it requires traditional programming. On the other hand, Joget Workflow is a platform to easily build web apps and automate processes.  With single sign-on (SSO) integration from SharePoint to Joget Workflow, organizations can easily extend the capability of SharePoint by allowing users to seamlessly access custom apps, visually design their own custom applications, or download ready made apps from the Joget Marketplace . Use SharePoint for sharing and collaboration, and Joget Workflow f...
