Abstract	Identity and Access Management (IAM) has become vital for operational technology security in manufacturing environments as they embrace Industry 4.0 and face increased cyber threats. This article explores how AI-infused IAM solutions transform manufacturing security by addressing unique challenges in legacy system integration, scalability, and continuous protection. Advanced technologies including real-time threat detection, intelligent access control, behavioral authentication, and predictive risk management collectively enhance security posture while maintaining operational efficiency. The integration of artificial intelligence with traditional security frameworks enables manufacturing organizations to protect critical infrastructure against sophisticated attacks while simultaneously improving regulatory compliance and operator experience. Implementation considerations address the complexity of industrial environments, highlighting the necessary balance between automated security and human oversight to prevent operational disruptions while maintaining robust protection against evolving threats.
