Webhooks & event-driven automation empower the Segura® platform to integrate natively with external systems and automate security, compliance, and operational workflows. Webhooks are triggered by privileged activity (e.g., credential rotation, access approval), sending real-time, customizable notifications to third-party endpoints.

Key Features

  • Event-Driven Integration: Trigger webhooks for key privileged access events.

  • Flexible Payloads: Customize data sent for integration with ITSM, SIEM, SOAR, and CI/CD.

  • Security: Supports HTTPS, token-based authentication, HMAC, and mutual TLS.

  • Delivery Assurance: Retry logic and error handling for reliable delivery.

  • Comprehensive Audit: Every webhook event is logged for compliance.

    Use Cases

  • ITSM Automation: Open/update tickets in ServiceNow, Jira, etc., for credential or access events.

  • SOAR Incident Response: Trigger automated playbooks for suspicious or high-risk actions.

  • SIEM Event Correlation: Forward security events to Splunk, QRadar, Elastic, and others.

  • DevOps Pipelines: Initiate build/deploy steps upon secret rotation in Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.

  • Custom Workflows: Integrate with serverless (AWS Lambda), message queues, or internal APIs.
