PRIVILEGED TASK AUTOMATION WITH NETWRIX PRIVILEGE SECURE
Automate Privileged Tasks with Just-in-Time, Zero Standing Access
Work smarter—not harder—by automating common privileged tasks securely
Netwrix Privilege Secure gives IT and security teams the power to automate high-risk, repetitive tasks using just-in-time (JIT) access and ephemeral identities. Unlike traditional PAM solutions that rely on persistent admin accounts, Netwrix eliminates standing privilege entirely—reducing your attack surface, accelerating operations, and simplifying compliance.
Key Features of Privileged Task Automation
Ephemeral Privileged Access
Create temporary identities with scoped permissions for each task—no standing accounts, no risk of misuse.
Just-in-Time Privilege Elevation
Automate access provisioning the moment it's needed and revoke it as soon as the task is done.
Command & Script Execution Without Login
Allow IT to execute predefined admin tasks like reboots or patches without exposing full system access.
Workflow-Driven Task Approval
Use built-in approval flows to ensure the right people authorize sensitive task execution.
Full Audit Trail and Session Recording
Every task is logged and recorded—providing clear accountability and audit-ready visibility.
Zero Trust-Ready Orchestration Engine
Align with Zero Trust principles through dynamic access, MFA, and contextual policy enforcement.
Agentless Deployment

What is Privileged Task Automation in Netwrix Privilege Secure?
Privileged Task Automation in Netwrix Privilege Secure refers to the ability to automate sensitive administrative tasks using just-in-time access and ephemeral accounts. This eliminates the need for standing privileges, enhances security, and simplifies compliance by tightly controlling and auditing each privileged operation.
Which tasks can be automated using Netwrix Privilege Secure?
Netwrix Privilege Secure supports automation of common IT tasks such as password resets, patch installations, server reboots, service restarts, log collection, user provisioning, and more. All actions are securely executed with time-limited access and full session logging.
How does Netwrix Privilege Secure improve security during task automation?
Unlike traditional PAM solutions, Netwrix Privilege Secure avoids persistent admin accounts. Instead, it dynamically provisions access with just-enough privilege for each task and removes it immediately after. This prevents lateral movement, reduces attack surface, and aligns with Zero Trust principles.
Can I integrate Netwrix Privilege Secure with my existing tools and vaults?
Yes. Netwrix Privilege Secure integrates seamlessly with third-party vaults like CyberArk, HashiCorp, and Microsoft LAPS. It also supports REST API integrations, making it easy to incorporate task automation into your existing workflows and ITSM platforms.
