# Rubrik

## What is Rubrik Cloud Data Management (CDM)?

Rubrik Cloud Data Management (CDM) platform is a data management solution that provides
 backup, recovery, data archival, and disaster recovery on-premises, at the edge, and in the cloud.

## Why Should You Use the Rubrik CDM Connector?

The Rubrik CDM connector provides visibility into the assets and and policies 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 Rubrik CDM REST API and ingests only meta-data about Rubrik CDM devices. Lucidum does not retrieve any data stored on your assets.

## Configuring the Connector in Lucidum

| Field | **Description** | **Example** |
