C1 Connectors: Connect Every App
Russell Haering·VP of Engineering·4 min
Learn how C1’s connector ecosystem makes it effortless to integrate any application into your identity security workflows, whether it’s SaaS, on-prem, or custom-built.
Main Takeaways
- Integration is one of the biggest challenges in identity security because every application has its own identity layer and data model.
- To solve this, C1 built Baton, an open source framework that standardizes how applications represent users, resources, entitlements, and grants.
- The second challenge is that many organizations run hybrid environments with cloud, on-prem, and homegrown applications, not all of which have APIs or are internet-facing.
- C1’s connector ecosystem addresses this with three types of connectors: out-of-the-box connectors, generic connectors, and custom connectors.
- With this architecture, organizations can connect their entire environment in minutes, unify identity data, and gain visibility across every system.
