# GYTPOL

## What is GYTPOL Validator?

GYTPOL is a security configuration management solution that provides continuous monitoring of all devices and performs accurate detection and fast remediation of security blind spots, device misconfiguration, and human errors.

## Why Should You Use the GYTPOL Validator Connector?

The GYTPOL connector provides visibility into the users in your environment. You can use this visibility to:

- ensure assets are managed per your security policies
- derive relationships between assets, users, and data

## How Does This Connector Work?

Lucidum executes read-only requests to the GYTPOL REST API and ingests only meta-data about GYTPOL devices. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
