Identity Security for Manufacturing and Industrial Operations.
Plant-floor systems, engineering workstations, and vendor VPNs were never built to share a policy model. Whiteswan gives manufacturers one decision engine across IT and the identities that touch production.
The Challenge in Manufacturing
Standing Access Wasn’t Built for Manufacturing.
IT/OT convergence
As plant-floor systems connect to the corporate network, the identities that reach them inherit all the risk of standing access with none of the segmentation.
Third-party vendor VPNs
Equipment vendors and system integrators are granted broad, always-on VPN access for maintenance windows that last a few hours a quarter.
Ransomware and downtime
A single compromised service account with standing access can halt a production line: the cost is measured in hours, not incidents.
How Whiteswan Helps
One Engine, Purpose-Built for Manufacturing.
Decide and Enforce
One policy engine, one motion, at the moment a vendor, engineer, or service account requests access, no standing VPN sessions.
Active Directory
In-line agents protecting the domain controllers that plant and corporate systems both depend on.
Privileged Access
JIT elevation for engineering workstations and ERP admin access, replacing permanent local admin rights.
“The lateral movement containment capability was exactly what our board was asking for.”

Aligned to Industrial Security Standards
Manufacturers increasingly answer to IEC 62443 and customer security questionnaires that assume network segmentation was never built for identity. Whiteswan's runtime enforcement gives you the identity-layer segmentation those frameworks expect.
