What You Need to Know About RPA Security

Just because a business has automated a process doesn't mean it has secured it. If you're considering installing an RPA (robotic process automation) solution, you need to understand the impact it will have on your security, according to the Enterprisers Project.

There are many reasons to implement RPA. However, if you want to minimize future problems, there are a few important lessons to learn. One of them will be familiar to any IT professional: a company cannot ignore security, so just because it has automated a process does not mean it is secure. Moreover, RPA bots are software that perform various computer tasks without human intervention. They come with the same risks that people face when working on a laptop. No one is immune from mistakes.

When implementing RPA, you must assume that it is just azerbaijan mobile database form of software, and therefore has every potential for vulnerabilities. “As with any software, RPA bots can pose a security risk by exposing an attack surface if not properly configured and implemented,” says Gautam Roy, head of product security at Automation Anywhere.

One of the fundamental aspects of RPA security is that many risks arise from lack of attention or oversight. It’s best to introduce bots into an organizational process or system with a comprehensive strategy in place—an ad hoc approach is likely to cause problems. In other words, if an organization lacks basic security hygiene, RPA won’t be able to fix that. The introduction of robotic process automation is good news for teams that take security seriously, and a stimulus for those that need to rethink their approach. Are you paying attention to password hygiene or access management, or is it all in disarray? If so, you may have trouble automating certain tasks.
