"As enterprises refine their strategies for handling Non-Human Identities (NHIs), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has become a powerful tool for streamlining operations and enhancing security. However, since RPA bots have varying levels of access to sensitive information, enterprises must be prepared to mitigate a variety of challenges. In large organizations, bots are starting to outnumber human employees, and without proper identity lifecycle management, these bots increase security risks."
"Robotic Process Automation (RPA) uses bots to automate repetitive tasks that are traditionally performed by human users. In the context of IAM, RPA plays an essential role in streamlining the user lifecycle, including provisioning, deprovisioning and secure access to credentials. These RPA bots act as NHIs and require governance just as human users do for authentication, access controls and privileged session monitoring."
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) uses software bots to automate repetitive tasks and functions traditionally performed by humans. RPA bots function as Non-Human Identities (NHIs) that require authentication, access controls and privileged session monitoring. RPA streamlines identity lifecycle processes such as provisioning, deprovisioning and secure credential access. Without proper identity lifecycle management, bot proliferation can outnumber human employees and increase security risk. Effective IAM for RPA enforces least-privilege access, centralized bot identity management and auditability across accounts. Best practices include governance, behavioral monitoring, immediate deprovisioning and unified management of human and non-human identities.
