Discover how C1 securely connects to on-prem systems like Active Directory and SQL databases without opening your firewall.

Main Takeaways

Many organizations still rely on on-prem systems for compliance or legacy reasons, which can be difficult to connect securely to cloud services.
Traditional methods often require exposing infrastructure or creating security risks.
C1 solves this with a lightweight on-prem connector, a small executable deployed behind your firewall.
The connector securely checks in with C1, syncing data and executing provisioning or deprovisioning tasks automatically.
This approach provides continuous updates, simple deployment, and the same reliability as SaaS integrations without compromising security.
