Agilicus Protects Manufacturing from Cyber Threats

Tailored for manufacturing facilities and technologies, Agilicus AnyX Zero Trust platform serves as a more secure alternative to traditional VPNs. It enables single sign-on capabilities using existing credentials for employees, contractors, or partners who require secure remote access to manufacturing systems (SCADA, HMIs, etc.). By implementing Agilicus, factories can effectively reduce risk, streamline management, and lower operational costs while maintaining the highest level of security.

Built on a Zero Trust foundation, Agilicus offers seamless central management of user access and authorization to resources, with fine-grained controls and detailed audit logs. We deliver secure remote access to any resource, regardless of device, without the need for a VPN or client software.

ACME Manufacturing Transforms Security and Efficiency with Agilicus AnyX

ACME Manufacturing is a large, distributed, vertically integrated manufacturer with multiple multi-national divisions and contract manufacturers. Their corporate structure is such that there is a parent holding company, and then a set of individual corporations under that, each with its own local management and decisions.

ACME’s key business support system is SAP, operated by the parent company. Each division and contract manufacturer requires real-time access to SAP to manage inventory and work orders. Learn how ACME decommissioned a complex set of mesh VPNs across multiple companies, enabled simpler, more secure access to SAP, and simplified use of industrial label printers while putting real-time dashboards into the hands of key holding company executives.

Secure Remote Updates For Air-Gapped systems

Air-gapped systems are intentionally separated from unsecured networks to prevent unauthorised access and cyber threats. However, this isolation also makes it difficult to update and manage these systems. Traditional methods require physical access or risky network connections. Organisations require a secure solution for remote access to these critical systems without compromising their security.

Learn how Agilicus AnyX safely enables having any user (staff, integrator, manufacturer) sign-in and operate a single PLC, without using insecure technologies like a VPN or shared passwords.

Merging Local Identity With Online Identity

Industrial environments are renowned for being out of step with other Information Technology strategies and implementations. It is a common configuration in any Industrial Control System to find a system which has local users (Local Identity). It might be an isolated Microsoft Active Directory. It might be a single machine with local users. And, it is the only sign-on identity the plant operators have available to them.

Learn how you can bridge the gap of one set of users using modern Office 365, Google Workplace, Okta federation, with another using an on-site local identity provider. Without changing how they work, but providing modern single-sign-on and multi-factor authentication.

Simplify Remote Access, Secure Industrial Equipment

In light of recent breaches like TeamViewer, the time to re-evaluate shadow IT remote access is now. Increased awareness and action towards replacing these shadow IT processes does not eliminate the need for remote access from your internal and external users to industrial equipment. 

Make connections simple with no new hardware or software install, seamless access from any device, and no new userIDs or passwords.

Keep your systems secure with single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and least privilege access.

Leverage Identity To Simplify IEC-62443 Zones

A best practice in Industrial Automation Control System Cyber Security is Zones and Conduits. These are complex to implement without strong identity and an identity-based firewall. Merging the best practices of a Zero-Trust Network Architecture with the ISA/IEC-62443 Zones and Conduits model improves security due to simpler implementation and greater control and audit.
