Diversification of services, globalization, and outsourcing have posed significant challenges for the IT wing of the manufacturing sector. Managing the user identities of customers, employees, and, most importantly, partners and third-party vendors has become a herculean task for organizations in this sector. Identity and access management (IAM) tasks such as bulk user management and strict password policy enforcement take up a large chunk of the workday for IT administrators in this industry. This gives them less time to sift through user activities to hunt for security threats.
Manually managing users in bulk and providing users and third-party suppliers with access to resources can be costly and inefficient. In addition to increasing cost, manual processes are prone to human error, which increases business risks. For simple and efficient bulk user management, user provisioning, and user de-provisioning, organizations need to implement automation-driven IAM technologies.
AD360 is an IAM solution for managing user identities, governing access to resources, enforcing security, and ensuring compliance. Using AD360, admins can modify users in bulk across AD, Exchange, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and more using a CSV file. With the help of preconfigured templates, AD360 can automate and expedite the whole process of user provisioning and de-provisioning. Admins can also analyze the entire automation process with reports.
Users from the manufacturing industry might have to travel to different locations for certain labor or managerial-specific tasks. This mode of work could lead to various challenges for employees, such as resetting passwords and resolving account lockouts without their IT admin's assistance. On the other hand, IT admins face challenges in monitoring their employee's logon activities when employees are working remotely.
Admins can empower their users to reset their passwords and unlock their accounts right from their logon screens and mobile devices by using AD360. AD360 also allows IT admins to track and monitor remote desktop connections and remote logons occurring via Remote Desktop Gateway and RADIUS Network Policy Server.
In order to remain competitive, the manufacturing industry is becoming more digitized and automated, with organizations constantly creating new technology. Innovative technologies can reap many rewards but can also pose many risks, from malicious insiders selling intellectual properties on the dark web to employees accidentally leaking important information.
To prevent this, IT admins need a robust threat hunting solution like user behavior analytics (UBA) that allows them to detect and respond to malicious activities in real time. By leveraging AD360's UBA, IT admins can instantly detect multiple failed logons, user activity anomalies, privilege escalations, lateral movement, data mishandling, and data exfiltration. IT admins can prevent delays in detecting data breaches with AD360's real-time threat alerting system.
AD360 is an integrated identity and access management (IAM) solution for managing user identities, governing access to resources, enforcing security, and ensuring compliance. From user provisioning, self-service password management, and Active Directory change monitoring to single sign-on (SSO) for enterprise applications, AD360 helps you perform all your IAM tasks with a simple, easy-to-use interface.
AD360 provides all these functionalities for Windows Active Directory, Exchange Servers, and Microsoft 365. With AD360, you can just choose the modules you need and start addressing IAM challenges across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments from within a single console.
