New Capability: Privileged Task Automation!

Description

:bangbang: SailPoint Privileged Task Automation helps organizations enhance IT operations’ efficiency, security and governance by automating and delegating the execution of repeatable privileged tasks.​

Privileged Task Automation enables your organization to:

  • Automate complex IT and privileged processes across systems
  • Reduce the need for specialized technical knowledge and manual intervention.
  • Enhance security by removing standing privileges.

  • Utilizes Identity Security Cloud’s (ISC) Workflows and Forms Engine
  • Integrates with ISC’s Credential Provider to retrieve secrets when Tasks are executed
  • New Privileged Task Automation specific out-of-the-box Workflow templates
  • Introduces the Interactive Trigger, Interactive Form, Interactive Message, Active Directory Action and Windows Server Action in Workflows.
  • Introduces Launchers and Launchpad where Tasks are executed by non-admin users
  • Uses ISC’s Entitlement model to enable built-in Governance
  • Introduces the Privileged Gateway which is a new type of virtual appliance that enables Privileged Tasks to interact with on premises and SaaS targets.
