Organizations are challenged to automate more and more processes as they embark on digital transformation projects. This acceleration in the deployment of automation is also introducing new security risks and expanding the attack surface. How can RPA tools manage identity and authentication models, privileges, reused passwords, and credentials? These are exactly the assets cybercriminals want to acquire.
Watch this on-demand webinar with 3 security and application experts, Charles Kolodgy, Mitchell Ashley, and Jason Jones who will examine how to bolster RPA security, how critical secrets within RPA apps can be protected, security challenges with RPA, and potential solutions. Our experts will also cover how API access tokens, credentials, certificates, and cryptographic keys are embedded within applications and potential pitfalls associated with application identity and authorization. Learn how BeyondTrust can help discover, manage, audit, and monitor privileged accounts to enable a secure approach for your RPA strategy.
Attendees learned:
- How to address overlapping and sometimes conflicting needs between RPA, Identity, and Security
- How best to balance securing and managing secrets used by apps against application delivery schedules
- How Privileged Access Management (PAM) and RPA can accelerate your digital transformation projects
