Securing Third-Party Contractor Access
Manufacturing firms frequently rely on external contractors, vendors, or suppliers. Primary enables organizations to control third-party access to sensitive systems and data. By implementing granular access controls, it ensures contractors can only access what they need, and data governance policies are enforced through browser-based protections
Optimizing Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Replacement
Many manufacturing companies use VDI solutions to provide remote access to applications. Primary is a modern, lower-cost alternative to VDI. It provides seamless and secure access to SaaS and in-house web apps with a better user experience and fewer operational costs. This is especially valuable for remote workers or those in production environments needing quick, secure access without the overhead of a full virtualized desktop.
Managing Shadow IT and Data Exfiltration
Manufacturing environments are often plagued by shadow IT, which occurs when employees use unauthorized devices or applications. Primary helps mitigate this risk by centralizing control within the browser. Administrators can prevent unauthorized downloads, screenshots, and data exfiltration. It also enables IT teams to have full visibility into browser activity, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Enhancing Security for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)
With many manufacturing plants adopting BYOD policies, Primary provides a solution for securely managing employee-owned devices. The browser isolates corporate data from personal activities, ensuring sensitive information stays within the enterprise perimeter while maintaining a seamless user experience.
Improving Compliance and Governance
Oil and gas companies using traditional VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) can optimize costs by replacing it with Primary. This browser provides a lighter, cost-effective alternative to VDI while ensuring security and user productivity, even in bandwidth-constrained environments.

Securing Manufacturing Systems

The Manufacturing Industry and Browser Security with Primary

The manufacturing industry is increasingly embracing digital transformation, a shift that has accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, many manufacturers rely on internal systems and private data servers, making secure access and collaboration a challenge, especially with a remote workforce. Here's how Primary addresses the critical needs of manufacturing companies:

Key requirements for manufacturing:

Seamless data governance and compliance
Integration with existing security frameworks
Access to internal enterprise applications and resources
Data protection against both external and internal threats
Mobile device access and remote support

Robust Features for Manufacturers

Primary’s Enterprise Browser: Key Features & Benefits

As cyberattacks on the oil and gas sector become increasingly frequent and sophisticated, Primary’s Zero Trust Browser offers a proactive and targeted defense solution.

Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Access Control
Primary integrates easily with existing access controls like Active Directory or Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions such as Okta, providing seamless authentication across devices. Users are granted access based on real-time conditions such as location and device posture, enhancing Zero Trust policies.
Compliance and Data Governance
Regulatory compliance is a priority for manufacturers working with sensitive data, such as those needing to adhere to GDPR, HIPAA, or ITAR. Primary allows manufacturers to manage their data governance policies effectively, ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Built-in forensic audit logs enable real-time tracking of user behavior, ensuring manufacturers meet compliance standards.
Secure Access to Internal Corporate Resources
Primary enables manufacturers to securely access internal web applications and databases without the need for cumbersome VPNs or traditional security tools like VDI. The browser acts as a controlled gateway, ensuring that data never leaves the organizational perimeter and that sensitive information is only accessed by authorized users.
Mobile Access and Device Flexibility
With manufacturing employees often working across sites and remotely, Primary ensures secure mobile access to applications, allowing flexibility for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies. It provides comprehensive endpoint protection, even on mobile devices, by securing the browser as a control point for data access and governance.
Protection Against Cyber Threats
Manufacturing companies are highly vulnerable to cyberattacks, especially via the browser, which is responsible for a majority of enterprise breaches. Primary secures this weak point by implementing phishing-resistant MFA, native malware blocking, and threat detection directly within the browser. This ensures manufacturers stay protected from ransomware and data breaches

Boost Efficiency Securely

Maximizing ROI and Efficiency

Primary’s deployment is quick and seamless, minimizing disruption to operations.

By eliminating the need for additional tools like VPNs or external desktop environments, manufacturers can reduce costs while enhancing security, ensuring greater ROI from their IT investment.

Built for Manufacturing Security

Primary Enterprise Browser: FAQ for the Manufacturing Industry

What is Primary’s Enterprise Browser?
Primary is a Zero Trust enterprise browser built to secure web-based applications and manage data access for businesses of all sizes. It centralizes control over browser activity and integrates advanced cybersecurity features like data loss prevention (DLP), real-time audit logs, and phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA). It's designed to protect against vulnerabilities typically associated with web browsers, which are responsible for a large portion of enterprise cyberattacks.
Why should manufacturing firms use Primary?
Manufacturing companies handle sensitive data and rely on complex supply chains. With many employees working remotely or across different facilities, ensuring secure access to internal applications, databases, and SaaS platforms is critical. Primary addresses these challenges by offering:
- Secure remote access without VPNs or VDI.
- Data governance and compliance with industry regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, ITAR).
- Mobile device flexibility for field workers and third-party contractors
- Protection against web-based threats, including ransomware and phishing.
How does Primary integrate with existing manufacturing IT infrastructure?
Primary integrates smoothly with existing IT frameworks, including Active Directory and Single Sign-On (SSO) platforms like Okta and Azure AD. This allows manufacturers to leverage their current security setup while extending secure, role-based access to web applications and internal systems. The Primary Management Console provides centralized control over these policies, ensuring only authorized users access sensitive data.
What are the benefits of using Primary for remote workers and contractors?
Manufacturing firms often employ third-party contractors and remote workers, who may use personal devices to access company data. Primary’s browser ensures complete isolation of corporate data, even on BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) environments. Contractors are given secure access to the tools they need without exposing the broader network to vulnerabilities. Key benefits include:
- Conditional access controls based on real-time data, location, and device posture.
- Granular control over user actions, such as restricting downloads, printing, and data sharing.
How does Primary help manufacturers with regulatory compliance?
Manufacturing firms must often comply with industry standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ITAR. Primary provides:
- Audit logs that record all browser activity, helping companies document compliance and trace potential security incidents.
- Role-based access controls (RBAC) and data masking/tokenization to ensure sensitive information is only accessible to authorized personnel.
These features help manufacturers stay compliant with global data protection laws while protecting sensitive information from internal and external threats.
Can Primary replace our current VDI or VPN solutions?
Yes, Primary can serve as an alternative to traditional Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) or VPN solutions, especially for securing access to internal applications and web-based platforms. It offers a more cost-effective, scalable, and user-friendly alternative, particularly for remote workforces and third-party contractors.
