Protecting On-Prem Applications
Alex Bovee·CEO, Co-founder C1·5 min
Learn how to govern legacy, on-prem, and custom business applications without modern APIs using C1 and Baton SQL.
Main Takeaways
- Many business-critical applications, like support portals or claims systems, run on-prem with no APIs and outdated access controls.
- Traditional identity governance tools can’t easily reach these systems, making visibility and lifecycle management difficult.
- C1’s Baton SQL connector installs within your infrastructure and connects directly to backend SQL databases.
- It syncs users, roles, groups, entitlements, and other access data back to the C1 platform for centralized governance.
- YAML-based config allows flexible modeling of even bespoke or non-standard authorization structures.
- Once connected, you can apply policies, automate provisioning, and run access reviews just like you would for SaaS apps.
- This lets you modernize security for legacy systems without needing APIs or manual processes.
