Connections Management
Establish and manage connections to your preferred cloud services and technologies, ensuring secure and efficient integration.
Connections Management enhances Kyndryl Bridge services capabilities by connecting to various external technology providers in a single place, allowing them to interact with the platform. This process is part of the configuration steps required to start using any Kyndryl Bridge service and application. You can establish a new connection within minutes and securely store credentials centrally. After setting up the connection type, a set of technology providers recommended Identity and Access Management (IAM) security policies need to be configured to enable the full potential value of Kyndryl Bridge services and applications.
