RPA-Enabled Security Orchestration: Automating Incident Handling and Remediation

Abstract

With the increasing sophistication and frequency of cyber threats, organizations face mounting pressure to enhance their security postures while optimizing resource allocation. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) emerges as a transformative technology, offering significant potential in automating various business processes, including security operations. This paper explores the integration of RPA into security orchestration to streamline incident handling and remediation processes. By automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks, RPA can enhance efficiency, reduce human error, and enable security teams to focus on strategic initiatives. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies, this paper elucidates the benefits, challenges, and best practices associated with RPA-enabled security orchestration. Furthermore, it discusses the implications of this approach for organizational resilience and future directions in leveraging automation for cybersecurity.
