Aluminum and steel plants across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait rely on shared workstations and a high volume of temporary and contract workers. At the same time, regional cybersecurity frameworks require strict enforcement of user identification, authentication, and auditability.This creates a challenge: enabling fast access for frontline workers—often without Active Directory accounts—while maintaining full traceability and compliance.

This white paper explains how to enable secure, passwordless authentication for frontline and temporary workers, ensuring every access event is tied to a verified identity without disrupting plant operations.

This white paper outlines:

• How to enable secure authentication without requiring AD accounts
• How to implement practical, passwordless access for plant-floor environments
• How to enforce identity-based access on shared workstations
• How to achieve full auditability and accountability
• How to align with GCC frameworks (NCA ECC, NESA IAS, NIA, NCSC)
• How to meet data residency and sovereign cloud requirements

It addresses the core challenge for GCC industrial organizations: maintaining fast, uninterrupted access to shared systems while ensuring every action is tied to a verified individual for compliance, audit readiness, and operational control.
