# PagerDuty

## What is PagerDuty?

PagerDuty is a cloud-based service for incident response.

## Why Should You Use the PagerDuty Connector?

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