Securing the Automated Enterprise: A Framework for Mitigating Security and Privacy Risks in AI-Driven Workflow Automation
Abstract
This article examines the evolving security and privacy challenges faced by enterprises implementing AI-driven workflow automation technologies. As organizations increasingly deploy artificial intelligence and robotic process automation to enhance operational efficiency, they simultaneously introduce novel security vulnerabilities and privacy concerns that traditional cybersecurity frameworks may inadequately address. Through a comprehensive analysis of current security practices, regulatory requirements, and emerging threats, this article proposes an integrated framework for risk mitigation in automated enterprise systems. The framework encompasses critical dimensions including data encryption strategies, adaptive access control mechanisms, privacy-preserving AI training methodologies, and specialized threat detection approaches tailored to the unique characteristics of intelligent automation. By synthesizing insights from both industry implementations and academic research, this article offers enterprise security practitioners actionable guidance for safeguarding automated workflows while enabling continued innovation. The article highlights the importance of security-by-design approaches, continuous monitoring, and governance structures specifically calibrated to the challenges presented by AI and RPA technologies in enterprise environments.
