The Challenge: Evolving Security Operations Needs
Data Breaches
Pharmaceutical organisations handle sensitive data, including proprietary research, patient information, and clinical trial results, making them prime targets for cybercriminals.
Ransomware
This sector is increasingly targeted by ransomware attacks, which can cause significant impact on operations, halt production, and lead to significant financial losses.
Intellectual Property (IP) Theft
Cyber-attacks aimed at stealing Intellectual Property can undermine years of research and development efforts.
SCADA System Vulnerabilities
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are critical for monitoring and controlling infrastructure but are often exposed to cyber threats.
Legacy Systems
Many pharmaceutical manufacturing systems are outdated and lack modern security features, making them vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
OT systems are often interconnected with suppliers and distributors, which thereby increases the risk of supply chain attacks.Regulatory Compliance
Ensuring that OT systems comply with strict regulatory standards, such as Good Manufacturing Practice, while maintaining security can be challenging.
Solutions
Risk Assessment and Management
Gramax conducts regular risk assessments to identify and prioritise vulnerabilities. Our team develops robust risk management plans to address the identified risks and ensure continuous improvement in our security posture.
Network Segmentation
We implement network segmentation to separate IT and OT networks, preventing the lateral movement of threats and enhancing the security of our operational technology systems.
Access Control and Encryption
Gramax enforces strict access control policies, including multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls (RBAC). We regularly review and update access permissions to ensure only authorized personnel have access to critical systems. Additionally, we encrypt sensitive data both at rest and in transit to protect it from unauthorized access.
Regular Updates and Patch Management
We ensure all systems, including legacy OT systems, are regularly updated and patched. By implementing automated patch management solutions, we streamline the update process and reduce the risk of vulnerabilities.
Incident Response Plan
Gramax regularly updates an incident response plan to quickly address and mitigate cyber incidents. We conduct regular drills and simulations to ensure our team is prepared for any potential threats.
Compliance and Regulatory Adherence
We ensure compliance with relevant regulations, such as GMP, the DPDP Act, HIPAA, and GDPR, to maintain data security and privacy. Regular audits are conducted to verify compliance with these regulatory standards.
Supply Chain Security
Gramax collaborates with suppliers and distributors to ensure they adhere to robust cybersecurity practices. We implement supply chain security measures, such as verifying the integrity of software and hardware components, to protect our systems from potential threats.
