The widespread use of bots poses a serious threat to organisations in the current

digital environment. Effective risk mitigation requires a methodical and thorough approach to

the investigation and reporting of such incursions. A methodical approach to addressing bot

invasions within organisations is provided by the suggested investigative framework.

By starting an early evaluation and bringing in technical staff as soon as possible,

breaches may be found and analysed, giving organisations a better understanding of the

kind and scope of risks they are facing. This is in line with the advice of cybersecurity

specialists who stress quick identification and reaction to online threats (Anderson & Moore,

2020). Moreover, firms may efficiently allocate resources and prioritise response efforts

according to with best practices in cybersecurity risk management by carrying out a

comprehensive risk assessment and creating a focused recovery strategy (Schneier, 2019).

Transparency and accountability in the incident response process are dependent

upon effective communication with stakeholders, such as legal teams, senior management,

and outside partners. Organisations may increase trust and collaboration among

stakeholders and improve their capacity to respond to bot attacks by including them early on

and communicating clearly with them (Duffy, 2018).

In conclusion, a systematic and thorough method for dealing with bot attacks is

provided by the suggested inquiry framework. By implementing these measures and utilising

best practices in incident response and cybersecurity risk management, organisations may

improve their ability to fend off cyberattacks and protect the security and privacy of their

data.
