What is Absolute? #
The Absolute platform is a cloud-based Endpoint Visibility and Control solution that allows you to see all your devices and applications, secure your data, and prove compliance.
Why Should You Use the Absolute Connector? #
The Absolute connector provides visibility into the assets in your environment. You can use this visibility to:
-
ensure assets are managed per your security policies
-
derive relationships between assets, users, applications, and data
How Does This Connector Work? #
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the Absolute REST API and ingests only meta-data about Absolute devices. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
