Abstract Ensuring RPA (robotic process automation) security is a critical aspect when developing and operating automated software robots. One of the key steps for developing secure software robots is the design stage: the identification and specification of the requirements for the security of the system, the description of system precedents, the interaction between the classes involved in the robot being created, etc. Designs using security-oriented formal modeling languages, such as the UMLsec extension of UML, involve not only a visual representation of diagrams but also the possibility to focus the attention on security issues. However, currently, in the scientific community, there is no possibility of using stereotypes specialized for robots—a mechanism for expanding the unified modeling language that would explicitly reflect a specific problem in the subject area. In this article, we propose that the UMLRPAsec-extension for RPA can be used to model security in the RPA context.
