(EN)About SOLUTIONS : Unified-IAM - Automation
What is Workflow Automation in security systems?
Workflow Automation in cybersecurity refers to the process of automating account provisioning, access approvals, and system connections without manual intervention.
It ensures that requests for access or permissions are automatically processed and approved according to defined security policies — improving both speed and consistency.
PNPSECURE’s Workflow Automation integrates seamlessly into DAC, SAC, WAC, and IM systems, unifying all approval and access processes under the Unified-IAM framework.
Why is Workflow Automation essential for access control?
Traditional access control often depends on manual approvals and credential sharing, which are prone to errors and inefficiencies.
Workflow Automation eliminates these risks by automatically managing account requests, permissions, and justifications — ensuring compliance, minimizing human error, and improving security response times.
For enterprises with diverse IT infrastructures, automated workflows are crucial for maintaining Zero Trust principles while keeping operations agile.
How does PNPSECURE Workflow Automation work?
The PNPSECURE Workflow Automation engine — DBSAFER Works — orchestrates every step of the access management process:
- Account / Permission Request – A user submits a new access or permission request.
- Approval Request Submission – The system routes the request to the appropriate administrator.
- Approval / Rejection – The admin reviews and approves or rejects the request.
- Permission Assignment / Justification – Once approved, permissions are granted automatically, and justification is recorded.
- System Access & Task Execution – The user performs authorized actions in the system or database.
- Automatic Authorization for 3rd Party Users – External or maintenance users receive temporary, policy-based access without manual intervention.
This full-cycle automation ensures secure access, detailed logging, and faster operational turnaround.
What are the key functions of PNPSECURE Workflow Automation?
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Automatic Connection | Provides secure system access without exposing user credentials, improving safety for internal and external users. |
| Approval Process Automation | Automates account and permission approvals, minimizing delay and ensuring consistent policy enforcement. |
| Centralized Workflow Control | Integrates all security systems — DAC, SAC, WAC, IM — under a unified approval process. |
| Audit Trail & Compliance | Maintains a detailed record of all access requests and decisions for regulatory compliance. |
How does Workflow Automation enhance Unified-IAM?
In the Unified-IAM architecture, Workflow Automation serves as the central engine that connects all identity and access management components.
By automating repetitive approval and provisioning tasks, it ensures that every access point — database, system, or cloud — follows the same policy logic and approval process.
This provides:
- Faster access delivery
- Reduced administrative burden
- Consistent compliance across systems
Summary
PNPSECURE Workflow Automation simplifies access management by eliminating manual processes and unifying approval workflows across systems.
It strengthens Zero Trust architecture while improving operational efficiency and compliance for enterprise-scale IAM environments.
