Panaptico connects to your real systems to discover what actually exists in your environment. Provider connections power the systems ontology, architecture diagrams, and reconciliation engine.

​
Supported providers

Panaptico supports connections to cloud platforms, identity providers, data platforms, security tools, and other enterprise systems including:
  • Cloud — AWS, Azure, GCP
  • Identity — Okta, Azure AD, Auth0
  • Data — Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery
  • Security — Palo Alto, CrowdStrike, Wiz
  • Networking — Cisco, Fortinet
  • Storage — NetApp, Pure Storage
  • Collaboration — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace
The ontology normalizes provider-specific resources into a shared representation so cross-provider relationships can be reasoned about in the same implementation.

​
Add a provider

1

Go to Settings → Providers

Navigate to the provider management page
2

Click Add Provider

Select your provider from the catalog
3

Authenticate

Follow the provider-specific authentication flow — OAuth, API key, service account, or role assumption
4

Scope the connection

Select which accounts, tenants, or projects the connection should discover. You don’t need to connect everything — scope to what’s relevant to your implementation.

​
Read-only by default

Provider connections use read-only access by default. Discovery inspects your environment without making any changes. Write permissions can be granted later for bounded execution tasks.

​
What discovery finds

When a provider is connected, Panaptico discovers:
  • Resources — compute instances, databases, storage, networking, IAM roles, policies
  • Relationships — dependencies, integrations, data flows between resources
  • Configurations — settings, parameters, security posture
  • Access models — who can access what, through which mechanisms
Discovered resources appear in the Systems Ontology view, where they can be confirmed, flagged, or mapped to implementation tasks.

​
Multiple providers

Most implementations span multiple systems. Panaptico’s cross-provider ontology means that an Okta group, an AWS IAM role, and a Snowflake warehouse can all appear in the same implementation graph with their relationships mapped.
