Abstract

In the contemporary digital landscape, the rapid advancement of application development necessitates a parallel evolution in security measures. Traditional security practices often struggle to keep pace with the dynamic nature of modern software development. To address these challenges, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) emerges as a transformative tool, offering substantial potential to automate security tasks within the application development lifecycle. This paper explores the integration of RPA into security automation, focusing on its capabilities to enhance security protocols, minimize human error, and streamline processes across various stages of development.

Security automation through RPA involves the deployment of software robots to perform repetitive, rule-based tasks that are essential to maintaining and enforcing security standards. These tasks include automated code scanning, vulnerability assessments, compliance checks, and incident response, all of which are crucial to the development and deployment of secure applications. By automating these processes, organizations can significantly reduce the time and resources required to secure applications, ensuring that security measures are not compromised by the speed and agility demanded by modern development practices.
