Cisco Secure Access Help Manage Resource Connectors and Connector Groups

Manage Resource Connectors and Connector Groups

Secure Access resource connectors connect traffic from user devices to private resources on your network using Zero Trust Access.

A resource connector is a lightweight virtual machine that is installed in your environment. We recommend that you deploy resource connectors in groups, for resilience, load balancing, and scalability. Each connector group is associated with a data center, branch office, or security zone, and serves specified private resources in that location. All connectors in a connector group connect traffic to all resources associated with the group.

For additional characteristics of resource connectors and connector groups, see Comparison of Network Connection Methods.
