An organization wants to enhance its network security by integrating external systems to provide rich context to its authorization logic. They plan to use ClearPass Policy Manager for this purpose. Which feature of the Policy Manager will be most beneficial for integrating with these external systems?

ASelf-service device onboarding with built-in certificate authority

BGuest access with extensive customization and sponsor-based approvals

CConfiguring external context servers and context server actions through APIs or HTTP/REST calls

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

ClearPass is designed as an open platform. The External Context Server feature allows ClearPass to exchange data with third-party security systems like Firewalls (Palo Alto, Check Point), EMM/MDM (Intune, AirWatch), and SIEMs (Splunk). By using REST APIs or XML/JSON over HTTP, ClearPass can send 'Context Server Actions' (like telling a firewall to quarantine a user) or receive data to be used as attributes in authorization policies.
