Passlogix Solutions for Manufacturing
Manufacturing operations today rely on numerous enterprise applications such as ERP, supply chain management, and process controls systems; exposing your plants and factories potential computer security breaches.
The Passlogix v-GO® Access Accelerator Suite provides manufacturers advanced authentication and password protection and fast access to systems and applications.
A single point of control for factory computer networks
In a large manufacturing company, hundreds or thousands of users, including design and process engineers, machine operators, plant supervisors, shipping clerks, and warehouse managers have access to a wide range of sophisticated computer systems to help them do their jobs effectively.
Everything in the plant - raw materials, parts inventory, design, fabrication, process control, and quality assurance - is interconnected throughout the network. Unauthorized access to critical manufacturing applications can results in numerous problems including parts and materials shortages, unplanned down-time, product defects, cost over-runs, safety issues, even environmental concerns. IT needs to remain firmly in control of access to the network and all applications.
With Passlogix v-GO Single Sign-On, usage of all applications can be accurately tracked and reported with comprehensive reports on password-related activity. The system administrator can correlate historical access data back to the access rights originally granted, ensuring that security policy is maintained over time.
Passlogix v-GO Single Sign-On captures, in real time, data on which users accessed various applications and when. v-GO can easily capture this data because it executes access on behalf of the user. By publishing that audit trail to the appropriate management consoles, v-GO Single Sign-On compiles a total view of user activity.
Advanced authentication for modern manufacturing
Compatible with a wide range of smart cards, tokens, public key infrastructure (PKI), and biometrics, Passlogix v-GO Single Sign-On works with popular authentication devices. As a result, the Passlogix solution can enhance network security through various forms of advanced authentication.
With two-factor authentication, for example, security for the network is essentially doubled by requiring users to present not one but two forms of identification: a password and an authentication device. Without both the password and the hardware, a user cannot access applications.
Single sign-on saves time, increases productivity
With Passlogix v-GO Single Sign-On, your staff can access all their applications, databases, and systems using a single, easy-to-remember password. So they can gain immediate access to everything they need - from equipment maintenance schedules to quality inspection reports - in a secure, controlled environment.
The ease and convenience of "single password sign-on" eliminates the need for users to remember multiple passwords. Passlogix v-GO Single Sign-On does not require password synchronization, allowing password syntax to be set at the highest appropriate level.
If users forget their password, they can regain access to their computer and the corporate network with v-GO Self-Service Password Reset. The software allows users to reset their password directly from the Windows logon prompt on their locked-out workstation, even from remote locations.
