Secure Workload uses connectors installed on external virtual appliances to support multiple use cases, including flow ingestion, inventory enrichment, and alert notifications. Edge connectors connect to external systems for ingest of context information for inventory enrichment or provide alert notification. Ingest connectors receive and process flow or packet data using standard protocols such as ERSPAN, IPFIX, and NetFlow v9. Secure connectors provide a local, on-premises proxy for orchestrator integration when using the Secure Workload SaaS platform.
