# JFrog Artifactory

## What is Artifactory?

JFrog Artifactory is a universal DevOps solution providing end-to-end automation and management of binaries and artifacts through the application delivery process that improves productivity across your development ecosystem.

## Why Should You Use the Artifactory Connector?

The Artifactory 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 Artifactory REST API and ingests only meta-data about Artifactory devices. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
