New CISO View Report Highlights the Importance of Risk Reduction for Robotic Process Automation

A new report, “The CISO View: Protecting Privileged Access in Robotic Process Automation," shares recommendations from information security executives at Global 1000 enterprises. The CyberArk report discusses how to securely drive innovation through robotic process automation (RPA).

Less than half of organizations have a privileged access management strategy in place for digital transformation technologies, like RPA. The CISO View examines attack techniques and provides practical advice from early RPA adopters on how organizations can mitigate the risks associated with non-human privileged access, including providing robots with more privileges than required to perform functions and tasks. The report recommends tightening access to RPA tools and mandating secure practices for developing robot scripts and emphasizes integrating RPA and enterprise security technologies in order to automate the management of credentials and detect misuse.
