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.
As part of The CISO View industry initiative, sponsored by
CyberArk, this report provides practical recommendations from
information security executives based on their first-hand
experiences. Members of the CISO View research panel include Global
1000 organizations such as Asian Development Bank, GIC Private
Limited, Highmark Health, Kellogg Company, Lockheed Martin
Corporation, Orange Business Services, Pearson, Rockwell
Automation, Royal Bank of Canada, and T-Systems International.
These experts share key recommendations for how organizations can
securely adopt RPA while mitigating potential risks, including:
- Limiting access for reprogramming robots – Reduce the
risk that comes with RPA permissions – like the ability to
reprogram robots – by securely managing credentials to RPA tools
and training RPA teams on secure software development
practices.
- Automating credential management – Successful RPA
deployments require automated credential management, including
machine-generated passwords, automatic password rotation, identity
verifications and just-in-time or time-limited credential
access.
- Establishing robust processes for monitoring RPA
activity – Rapidly detect and respond to unauthorized or
anomalous robot behavior by assigning human managers, enforcing
least privilege and making actions traceable.
“From finance and HR to manufacturing, organizations are rapidly
adopting RPA to drive new efficiencies for their business and
deliver innovative services to customers,” said Marianne Budnik,
CMO, CyberArk. “This report provides a playbook for organizations
to embrace security in a way that enables the business and helps
RPA projects move forward as part of key digital transformation
initiatives.”
The fourth in The CISO View series, this report was developed in
conjunction with independent research firm Robinson Insight.
