# Kandji Connector Guide

Kandji is the Apple device management and security platform that empowers secure and productive global work.The **Balbix integration with Kandji** ingests Apple IT Infrastructure assets, operating system (OS) and software information discovered by Kandji.

Balbix leverages AI to aggregate, normalize, and deduplicate ingested data, along with information integrated from your existing IT and cybersecurity tools. This creates a unified view of your entire asset inventory, including vulnerabilities and their business and operational context. Balbix’s AI models then analyze this data to provide insights such as deployment gap analysis, risk-based vulnerability prioritization (with detailed ranking and scoring), and risk quantification. This process delivers a comprehensive assessment of risk, whether for a single asset, groups of assets, or your entire enterprise, enabling more informed and effective security decisions.
