Connect DX Data Cloud to Zed

Give Zed governed access to DX Data Cloud’s 10 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.

Set up

Add DX Data Cloud to Zed in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Zed then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Approve DX Data Cloud in Runlayer

    Add DX Data Cloud from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

  2. 2

    Connect Zed to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Zed by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Zed reaches DX Data Cloud’s 10 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to DX Data Cloud

    An admin adds DX Data Cloud credentials to Runlayer once. They never sit in the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use DX Data Cloud from Zed

    DX Data Cloud’s approved tools appear in Zed. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Zed

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Zed exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every DX Data Cloud call from Zed passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Zed as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Zed yet, so control happens at the gateway.
