The challenges of process automation in the digital era
Hard-coded automations: The tendency to “set it and forget it” can bring consequences ranging from minor unintentional results to complete services shutdowns.
High-velocity operations: Fast-moving automations require a rapid response to cybersecurity incidents or system changes to avoid multiple transactions being wrongly processed.
Expanded attack surface: Automations expand the attack surface, with newly deployed software bots and integrations creating more attack vectors and vulnerabilities.
Best practices for mitigating process automation risk
Start by implementing an integrated risk management platform that addresses both business and technology risk to identify, assess, treat and monitor process automation risk.
Protect automated processes against cyber attacks with comprehensive security monitoring, threat detection and response, and identity and access management.
Extend process automation risk strategy into key domains such as business resiliency, third-party risk, compliance and audit.
