UIPATH - Do you all use it?

Any familiar with this RPA utility? Our company has implemented it and I was thinking about throwing my hat into the ring. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I've seen conflict info, you need to be a great dev you don't need coding at all, etc....

Yep, seen this at my previous place. Basically robotics which automate a business process service whereby the RPA acts as a client to access the destination. From what I have seen you dont necessarily need to be a great coder - very easy to pick up from anyone. Key thing is to manage its permissions via AD role and treat the RPA as a standard user account - so enforce all security policies via GPO as you normally would. Encrypt transit traffic, log behaviour etc but hopefully gives you an idea,

Are there any use cases for the security monitoring, or playbooks for incident response handling, of RPA systems?

Not sure about precise use cases but this may shed some light into logging mechanisms.

I've got a meeting set, sounds like my VB background will help out a lot. I was chatting with the lead engineer and to get it to really pop it's helpful to know Python, C#, VB and there is one other language/library ( I don't recall) that can be leveraged.

Is that VB6 or VB.NET?
