Information Security for Manufacturing
Two-factor authentication and access controls
Gain complete control and visibility over network access across production sites, office environments, and remote users. Prevent unauthorized access that could disrupt operations or lead to data loss.
Secure access at the logon
The manufacturing sector relies on uptime and operational continuity. But every user logon, whether in a back office or on the shop floor, is a potential entry point for attackers or human error.
UserLock helps IT teams in manufacturing stop threats right at the source: the logon. Prevent misuse of credentials, reduce careless behaviors, and stop both internal and external threats before they impact production.

Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Strengthen identity verification with a second authentication factor, without disrupting daily workflows. With UserLock, enforce Active Directory MFA across Windows logon, RDP, VPN, IIS, and SaaS. Maintain policies offline and in airgapped scenarios.
)
)
Single sign-on (SSO)
Let users access Microsoft 365 and other cloud apps securely and seamlessly using their Active Directory credentials. UserLock’s SAML-based Active Directory SSO, extends your on-prem AD securely into the cloud, without compromising control.

)
Automated access controls
Set granular, contextual access policies based on role, location, device, time, or session count. Ensure users access only what they need, when and how they’re supposed to, whether they’re engineers, shift workers, or remote staff.

Real-time insight, alerts, and response
Get live visibility into user sessions across your network. IT can remotely interact in real time to lock a session, logoff a user, or block further user access. Set alerts to notify admins and users of unusual or risky behavior.
)
)
Centralized reports
Generate detailed reports that help with audits, internal investigations, and help prove regulatory compliance. Know who accessed what, when, from where, and for how long across every workstation or remote access point.
Protect operational technology (OT) and intellectual property
Stop credential-based attacks
Even valid AD credentials become useless to attackers when access is tightly controlled. UserLock blocks lateral movement from compromised accounts, protecting both IT and OT systems.
Limit concurrent sessions and logons
Prevent login sharing and enforce single-session rules. This is crucial for shared terminals and shift-based access in manufacturing environments.
Attribute access to individuals
Make every user accountable. Tie logon activity to a single identity, even in environments with shared machines, ensuring full traceability.
Why manufacturing organizations choose UserLock
Enforce job-role based access
Ensure staff access only what they need based on their job function (AD group or OU). Protect sensitive production data and proprietary designs by applying least-privilege principles.
Protect privileged access
Apply strong access controls to any account with privileged access, without impacting productivity.
Secure access to SaaS
Add non-intrusive security to protect SaaS access at the Windows logon, keeping authentication on-prem.
Ease user adoption
Zero training and zero change for users. Working at the AD authentication level, UserLock verifies user identities as part of the native Windows logon process.
Deploy quickly, scale easily
UserLock works with your existing Active Directory, integrating seamlessly with minimal disruption. Apply policies by user, group, or organizational unit (OU) for maximum flexibility.
Comply with manufacturing regulations
Easily meet security requirements from ISO 27001, NIST, CMMC, and other frameworks. Prove access is controlled, auditable, and attributable to individual users.
