Impact #1	CyberArk’s Blue Prism integration helped the company streamline its RPA rollout and accelerate time-to-value. The company was able to quickly take advantage of all the benefits of unattended RPA processes, without compromising security or hampering security operations.
Impact #2	CyberArk Secrets Manager and CyberArk Privileged Access Manager help the company defend against credential theft, malicious attacks, and data exfiltration by removing credentials from RPA scripts and controlling access to the Blue Prism administrative console. The solutions also simplify security operations by updating and rotating credentials automatically based on policy.
Impact #3	The Blue Prism integration protects and extends the company’s previous CyberArk investments. The company leverages a central digital vault for all privileged credentials, giving security administrators centralized and uniform tools to monitor and control privileged access for legacy applications like their database platform and for newer applications like their Blue Prism RPA implementation.
