OAuth (Open Authorization) is a modern, open authorization standard designed to allow cross-application access delegation – for example, allowing your application to read data from your Facebook profile. Combined with the proper extensions, OAuth can also be used for authentication – for example, to log into your application using Google credentials.

Active Directory (AD) is the foundation of managing identities, provisioning users and issuing permissions to network resources. These permissions range from the lowest levels of access to the highest levels of admin rights for privileged users. While having control over these permission levels is useful, organizations can open themselves up to serious vulnerabilities if they don’t manage the permission levels carefully.

Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing the manufacturing industry as we are witnessing numerous innovative technologies such as AI, IoT, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) helping manufacturers enhance their supply chain, logistics and production lines. While we see these operations evolving into smart factories, the industry still faces challenges that could adversely impact its ability to realize the full potential of Industry 4.0.
