The Barracuda SecureEdge Manager allows administrators to enroll IoT devices, such as the Secure Connector, with the cloud service. The Barracuda Secure Connector is a hardware device that allows you to connect remote appliances and micro-networks to the corporate data center via VPN. To integrate Secure Connector appliances in your Barracuda SecureEdge environment, you must create a basic configuration for each IoT appliance.
