What is Dayforce? #
Dayforce (formerly Ceridian) is cloud-based, human capital management (HCM) platform that manages payroll, HR, benefits, workforce, and talent.
Why Should You Use the Dayforce Connector? #
The Dayforce connector provides visibility into the assets in your environment. You can use this visibility to:
-
ensure assets are managed per your security policies
-
find vulnerabilities quickly and remediate
How Does This Connector Work? #
Lucidum executes read-only requests to the Dayforce REST API and ingests only meta-data about Dayforce assets. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
