Manufacturing environments rely on kiosk-ed PCs and shared workstations to keep production lines running — but permanently logged-in systems, shared accounts, and unlocked screens create significant cybersecurity, compliance, and audit risks.

This white paper explores how manufacturers can secure shop floor systems using passwordless authentication, badge-based access, and biometric identity verification — without changing application workflows or introducing operational friction.

This white paper outlines:

• How to eliminate shared account risk in kiosk-ed production environments
• How to enable passwordless authentication using badge tap and facial biometrics
• How to secure shared workstations without phones, tokens, or workflow disruption
• How to improve auditability and enforce per-user accountability on the shop floor
• How to align with NIST, ISO, and CMMC security frameworks
• How to protect legacy and kiosk applications without modifying them

Manufacturing CISOs, IT leaders, and plant managers face increasing pressure to improve security posture while maintaining uptime and operational efficiency. This white paper addresses how to implement Zero Trust-aligned identity controls for shop floor environments — without slowing production or requiring changes to existing systems.
