Robotics Process Automation Security Architecture: Safeguarding Automated Systems

EasyChair Preprint 11356

Abstract

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has revolutionized business operations by automating repetitive tasks and streamlining workflows. However, the increasing adoption of RPA introduces significant security concerns. This paper delves into the critical aspects of RPA security architecture, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of safeguarding automated systems. The research explores the vulnerabilities inherent in RPA implementation, including unauthorized access, data breaches, and potential manipulation of automated processes. It emphasizes the importance of a robust security architecture designed specifically for RPA deployments. Key elements of an effective RPA security architecture are examined, encompassing authentication mechanisms, encryption protocols, role-based access controls, and secure development practices. Additionally, the paper addresses the integration of RPA security with existing enterprise security frameworks, ensuring a cohesive approach to risk mitigation.  The goal of this paper is to serve as a guide for organizations seeking to fortify their RPA initiatives against evolving cyber threats. By understanding the nuances of RPA security architecture and implementing robust measures, enterprises can harness the transformative potential of automation while safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining operational integrity.
