About

Anastasiya Kurylets is a leading researcher in the emerging field of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) security, where she addresses the critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities introduced by software robots in sectors like banking and finance. Her major contributions include the development of the **Security Ontology OntoSecRPA**, which systematically maps and categorizes security threats specific to RPA environments, and the **UMLRPAsec extension**, a novel design-stage framework that enables developers to specify and integrate security requirements directly into RPA system models. These works provide foundational tools for building secure automation pipelines from the ground up, rather than retrofitting protections. With her most-cited papers accumulating 8 and 6 citations respectively since 2023, Kurylets is establishing herself as a key voice in this niche but rapidly growing domain. Her research is particularly notable for bridging the gap between software engineering best practices and operational security, offering practical guidance for both academics and industry practitioners. By focusing on the design phase, she empowers organizations to preemptively mitigate risks in their automated workflows, making her work essential reading for anyone developing or deploying RPA solutions in high-stakes environments.
