24. Secure Management of Access to Privileged Accounts
• Triggering an intruder lockout.
Example uses of exit points include sending e-mails to users or administrators and creating, updating or
closing incident records in an incident management application, notifying an IT infrastructure management
system of an integration problem or recording a security event to a security incident event management
(SIEM) or intrusion detection (IDS) system.
Various pre-built interface programs designed for use with exit points are included with Privileged Access
Manager. They are generally scriptable and simplify the process of creating help desk incidents (e.g., BMC
Remedy, HP Service Manager and the like) and sending e-mails.
For clarity, it should be noted that exit programs and plug-in programs in Privileged Access Manager are
distinct components that serve different functions. Whereas plug-in programs are bidirectional – Privileged
Access Manager sends data to the plug-in, the plug-in responds with data that alters Privileged Access
Manager’s behavior – exit programs are uni-directional and are used strictly to pass information outbound
from Privileged Access Manager to other applications. .
Note: This feature meets the requirement described in Subsection 4.11 on Page 10.
