🔐 Protecting Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Safeguarding Critical Operations Against Cyber Threats Pharmaceutical manufacturing is on the frontline of an escalating cybersecurity battle. As the industry's reliance on operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) grows, so does the risk of cyberattacks that can disrupt operations, compromise safety, and lead to data loss. Key Takeaways from Our White Paper: 🚨 A startling 87% increase in ransomware attacks against pharmaceutical manufacturers, according to the Dragos 2022 ICS/OT Cybersecurity Year in Review. 🔍 The importance of improving visibility into OT networks through centralised logs, asset inventories, and data flow inspections. 🔒 The critical need to strengthen security perimeters, address flat networks, and enhance firewall rules. 🌐 The risks posed by external connections and the importance of monitoring and control. 👥 The dangers of shared IT and OT user accounts, along with the need for specialised incident response planning. 🛡️ The role of tabletop exercises (TTXs) in simulating attack scenarios and refining incident response capabilities. Pharmaceutical companies are prime targets for cybercriminals, and understanding these threats is essential for executives.

The Evolving Ransomware Landscape for Pharmaceutical Industries: Are You Prepared? The pharmaceutical industry is a prime target for cyberattacks, with ransomware being a particularly potent threat. From stealing sensitive data to disrupting critical research and development, a successful ransomware attack can have devastating consequences. The landscape of ransomware attacks is constantly evolving, with attackers developing new tactics and exploiting emerging vulnerabilities. Here are some key trends to be aware of: 1. Double Extortion: This tactic involves encrypting data and then stealing it, giving attackers dual leverage for extortion. 2. Targeting Supply Chains: Attackers are increasingly targeting third-party vendors and suppliers to gain access to pharmaceutical companies' networks. 3. Operational Technology (OT) Attacks: As pharmaceutical companies adopt more connected devices, attackers are looking to exploit vulnerabilities in OT systems to disrupt operations. 4. Rise of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS): RaaS makes it easier for less skilled attackers to launch ransomware attacks. Are you prepared? Here are some steps pharmaceutical companies can take to mitigate the risk of ransomware attacks: 1. Regularly assess and update your cybersecurity posture. 2. Implement a layered security approach, including data encryption, access controls, and intrusion detection systems. 3. Have a comprehensive incident response plan in place. 4. Train your employees on cybersecurity best practices. 5. Regularly back up your data and have a disaster recovery plan in place. Join the discussion!
