Pharmaceutical & Medical
The Pharmaceutical and Medical industry can be on a large scale, with large physical estate footprints and large staff numbers employed across various geographical locations, also with VIP customers and a lot of Intellectual Property (IP) in new drugs or NDAs for producing pharmaceuticals under license, this means this industry is a high-level target for cyber criminals. The greater the risk and larger the disruption the more they are able to extort financially, which is their goal.
The pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sectors combine to represent a multi-trillion dollar global industry. With their pioneering role in healthcare and well-being they are a hugely important industry and one that makes a significant contribution to the economy across the island of Ireland, with Life Sciences (pharma, biotech and medical devices) employing more than 50,000 people.
It is a heavily regulated sector and one that is becoming more and more susceptible to serious cyber attack.
Threats are on the rise!
LoughTec has worked with a number of organisations within the life sciences sector on the Island of Ireland, one of our clients, a large pharma brand needed a security solution as they implemented a patching and software update programme to their operational technology (OT) network.
A 3rd party contractor needed physical access to HQ, bringing in software on USB drives and discs which posed a clear security risk.
Our kiosk solution ensured that all files were AV multi-scanned, enabling data sanitisation to remove any possible active threats from inbound files.
