Once discovery is in place and onboarding is automated, a third front remains, often the most time-consuming for PAM teams: fixing the gaps that accumulate over time. Inactive users lingering in safes, recurring CPM errors, accounts detected but never actually onboarded into the vault. These are predictable problems that come back regularly and pull resources into low-value work.
In PAM as in CyberArk governance, anything that can be automated should be. That’s the principle behind automated remediation.
Remediation in Ignimission Protec relies on the same mechanism as the boarding orders used for onboarding and off-boarding: a workflow, applied automatically to a defined scope, but this time on a periodic basis rather than a one-off trigger. You define the targeted object type (accounts, users, assets…), map the data to the workflow, set the scope, and schedule how often it runs, daily, weekly, monthly, as needed.
This approach handles very concrete, recurring cases without repeated manual intervention.
A remediation scenario can target every user who hasn’t logged on for a given period, for example, the past year, with the option to explicitly exclude certain accounts from scope. The workflow is then scheduled: monthly, weekly, or periodic at a custom interval (every 24 hours, every 12 hours, and so on). On the first of each month, for instance, the scenario runs and automatically removes inactive accounts matching the defined criteria, with no administrator needing to relaunch the review manually.
CPM (Central Policy Manager) errors, timeouts, Windows errors, or any other error type, can also be handled by a dedicated remediation scenario. The scope targets a specific error family, such as timeout errors, and the workflow automatically re-checks the affected account and restores it to an operational state, often before the end user even notices the incident. This type of remediation can run every 24 hours, keeping a constant level of availability across the managed scope.
Remediation also relies on Protec’s asset management system, capable of identifying elements present in the source but missing from the CyberArk vault when they should be there. Once this gap is identified, the remediation scenario automatically triggers onboarding for the missing asset, closing the loop between discovery and integration with no manual step in between.
These remediation scenarios work across multiple CyberArk vaults and extend to the entire ecosystem connected to Protec: Active Directory, IGA, ITSM, CMDB. Protec ships with a wide range of connectors available out of the box, and new ones can be built easily through the Integration Builder, a tool that works much like Postman for setting up API calls and actions against CyberArk, Active Directory, IGA, ITSM, or any other system you need to connect to. Workflows are then assembled in the same drag-and-drop interface, combining actions and conditions as needed.
Every execution stays auditable, with logs tracing exactly which actions were taken, on which scope, and when, a key point for demonstrating PAM compliance during a review or an audit.
Remediation that triggers itself, based on a scenario configured once, changes the nature of PAM teams’ work: fewer repetitive manual interventions, fewer human errors, and compliance that maintains itself continuously, including outside business hours. Combined with discovery and automated onboarding, remediation closes the loop of a CyberArk governance model that no longer depends on constant human monitoring.
That’s the role of the Remediation module in Ignimission Protec: correction scenarios configured once, applied automatically and durably across your entire CyberArk, IGA, and PAM ecosystem.
