Automation code deployment is a critical and highly anticipated step for any COE or standalone automation team, marking the completion of a project. However, manual deployment introduces not only the risk of errors but also significant security vulnerabilities.
To mitigate these risks, consider the following best practices:
Automated Deployment: Use automated deployment tools to reduce human error and ensure consistency.
Regular Security Audits: Conduct regular security audits to identify and address vulnerabilities.
Strong Access Controls: Implement strong access controls to limit unauthorized access to your bot infrastructure.
Regular Updates: Keep your bots and underlying systems up-to-date with the latest security patches.
Monitoring and Alerting: Monitor your bot environment for suspicious activity and set up alerts to respond promptly to incidents.
