Using Cloud Security SDKs

The BMC Helix Cloud Security software development kit (SDK) provides access to Innovation Suite APIs and SDKs, the core building blocks for developers. The SDK provides a normalized and homogeneous interface to manage your cloud and other on-premises software. The SDK can be used to directly use the Cloud Security API by embedding a .jar file into development code to enable the API to be invoked programatically.

This topic contains the following sections:
