Introduction to Secure Connectors

A secure connector is a connector instance that runs in your network or supported cloud environment and provides a secure communication path between Security Cloud Control Firewall Management and managed resources. Secure connectors help Security Cloud Control Firewall Management manage devices that are not directly reachable from the internet and support event forwarding for logging and analytics workflows.

Use the Secure Connectors page to view, deploy, and manage connector instances for your tenant.
