RPA
Robotic Process Automation

RPA is software that mimics a human clicking through applications to automate repetitive back-office work: reading invoices, copying data between systems, filing forms. The robots are unattended accounts with real credentials and broad application access, which makes them ideal targets and terrible secret-keepers. Treat RPA bots as privileged identities: vault their credentials, scope their access, and log what they touch.
