Locking Down the Automation Realm: Robotics Process Automation Cybersecurity

EasyChair Preprint 11352

Abstract

The integration of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) within modern organizational frameworks has significantly streamlined operations, boosting efficiency, and productivity. However, the accelerated adoption of RPA technology also introduces inherent cybersecurity risks that demand meticulous attention. This abstract outlines the paramount importance of establishing robust cybersecurity measures to fortify the automation realm. The exponential growth of RPA implementation across diverse industries accentuates the urgency to address vulnerabilities and potential threats that could compromise sensitive data and operational integrity. The abstract delves into the multifaceted landscape of RPA cybersecurity, emphasizing the imperative need for a comprehensive approach. It elucidates the core vulnerabilities inherent in RPA systems, ranging from unsecured credentials to potential breaches via external integrations. Understanding these vulnerabilities is fundamental to formulating an effective cybersecurity strategy. This encompasses strategies such as stringent access controls, encryption protocols, continuous monitoring, and threat intelligence integration. Additionally, the abstract underscores the significance of employee training and awareness programs to bolster the human element in RPA security. Ultimately, this abstract advocates for a proactive and adaptive approach to RPA cybersecurity. By comprehensively understanding vulnerabilities, implementing robust protective measures, and leveraging cutting-edge technologies, organizations can confidently navigate the automation realm, safeguarding critical assets, and ensuring the resilience of their RPA infrastructure against evolving cyber threats.
