Uptick in RPA Software Adoption Reveals Need for Anti-Hacking Training>
Security Affairs – Pierluigi Paganini
RPA adoption has been growing since before the coronavirus pandemic. The global RPA market grew from $800 million to $2.9 billion between 2017 and 2019 alone. Estimates before the outbreak suggested it could reach $10.4 billion by 2023, and the virus has sped adoption rates. Knowledge Capital Partners found that a third of RPA adopters had trouble integrating it, mostly due to poor management. Organizations that jumped on the opportunity of RPA without forming a detailed strategy for implementation faced higher risks. When companies rush to RPA without considering how to use it safely, they endanger themselves. RPA is most effective in highly-regulated industries, the same sectors where cybersecurity is critical. When a business allocates crucial tasks to an automated system, they need to ensure itâs secure. If these companies are to use RPA effectively, they need to refine their cybersecurity practices.
