# Outbound Connector

## 1.0 Introduction

This article describes how to create and manage **Outbound Connectors** in Fortanix Confidential Computing Manager (CCM).

An **Outbound Connector** enables CCM workflows to securely export processed or transformed data from the Fortanix CCM runtime environment to an external data destination. For example, workflow output can be written to a comma-separated values (CSV) file hosted outside the Fortanix CCM environment.

Using the **Outbound Connectors** menu item in the Fortanix CCM user interface (UI), you can create, view, and manage outbound data connectors.
