The Security Challenges of Robotic Process Automation—A<br />

Primer<br />

By Kevin Ross, Global Solutions Engineer, <strong>Cyber</strong>Ark<br />

Robotic process automation (RPA) is one of the hottest technologies in the IT market today. These<br />

systems enable software robots to replicate the actions of human workers for tasks such as data entry,<br />

and they can bring greater efficiencies and accuracy to many key business processes.<br />

The technology has the potential to deliver huge benefits to companies. These include increased<br />

efficiency of workflows, improved accuracy of transactions, and significant cost savings through the<br />

reduction of labor by automating the execution of repetitive, time-consuming manual tasks.<br />

RPA can also be a significant IT security risk, particularly around the credentials used to manage RPA<br />

implementations. Because of that, organizations need to be vigilant about how they secure their RPA<br />

deployments.<br />
