Privileged Access Management for the manufacturing industry
In modern manufacturing facilities, classic IT systems (e.g., ERP or MES solutions) meet operational technologies (OT) such as production lines, PLC controls, or SCADA environments. These different systems require tailored and secure access rights.
Thanks to VISULOX, access to IT and OT systems can be centrally managed and controlled – without disrupting ongoing operations.
Security, trust, resilience – for the future of manufacturing.

Key Insights: The Critical Role of Privileged Access Management (PAM) in Protecting the Manufacturing Industry
Herausforderung
Overcoming the critical security hurdles that manufacturing companies face in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Legacy systems
In many manufacturing companies, machines and systems are running that were acquired years or even decades ago. Their operating systems and controls only partially or not at all support current safety standards or interfaces for PAM solutions.
Complex IT infrastructures
The merging of traditional systems and facilities with new digital technologies creates complex environments that are difficult to secure without specialized solutions.
Growing security risks
With the increasing digitization, manufacturing and control systems are increasingly in the focus of cyberattacks. The challenge lies in securing highly sensitive OT structures (Operational Technology) just like modern IT environments.
Minimal downtime
Any disruption or failure in production causes high costs and delivery delays. The maintenance and monitoring of critical systems must be carried out in such a way that interruptions remain as brief and predictable as possible.
Increasing complexity in partner and employee access
External service providers, maintenance teams, and even cross-site personnel must quickly and securely access production systems. Companies need a transparent, easily manageable solution that allows only the truly necessary access while documenting all activities.
Insider threats
The misuse of privileged access by internal staff poses significant risks. Solid monitoring and control are essential to detect and prevent insider threats.
