Intro

Seemplicity communicates with 3rd party data sources in your environment to pull findings, and make it easier to remediate these findings.

In some organizations, for various reasons, these data sources are not directly accessible to the Seemplicity cloud platform. The data sources need to be accessible to Seemplicity, which might require changes to the organization's security policies or network firewalls, and that might not be possible.

The Seemplicity Remote Collector can be placed within your network or cloud deployment to communicate with the necessary data sources. Depending on your deployment, the Remote Collector then communicates with the Seemplicity platform over a secure channel.

Remote Action Platform (RAP)

Seemplicity collections from remote sites / on premise data sources requires to install Seemplicity's RAP on a VM. The RAP includes a script that downloads and runs a container which includes the Remote Collector. The script includes the run parameters for running the Collector, and must have access to S3.
