The security controls applied to software robots that automate repetitive business tasks across applications. RPA security covers managing bot credentials, enforcing least privilege for bot accounts, monitoring bot activities for anomalies, securing the orchestration platform, and preventing bots from being repurposed by attackers to exfiltrate data or execute unauthorized transactions.
RPA bots often have privileged access to multiple business systems, making them attractive targets. Security engineers must treat RPA accounts with the same rigor as privileged human accounts. GRC analysts assessing automation initiatives need to evaluate the security controls around bot credentials and activity logging.
