# Kolide K2

## What is Kolide K2?

Kolide K2 provides asset management, endpoint security, compliance checks, and end-user self-remediation.

## Why Should You Use the Kolide K2 Connector?

The Kolide K2 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 Kolide K2 REST API and ingests only meta-data about Kolide K2 devices. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.
