Implementing data, analytics, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence across the life sciences value chain have created significant business growth opportunities for the pharma industry. Digital transformation has altered research and development processes, manufacturing and medical device development and revolutionized patient care services to create more connected, smarter, faster and responsive supply chain networks. As digital transformation continues to become more critical for the success of the life sciences industry, achieving and maintaining high levels of cyber security in a production network has never been more important.

The industry suffered serious financial loss from the Wannacry and NotPetya cyber-attacks in 2017. Since then, cyber risks have become an increasing concern and continue to impact operational technology (OT) networks today. This opens the industry up to risks of production downtime, intellectual property loss, information security breaches and increasing incidents of ransomware. Additionally, with the current remote working pressures these vulnerabilities are even more exposed presenting even greater risk to manufacturing.

In this webinar, Billy Sisk, EMEA Life Sciences Industry Manager and John Speakman Industrial Networks and Cyber Security, both at Rockwell Automation, will be joined by Stephen Friedenthal, IoT Solutions Architect at Cisco Systems, to address these concerns in more detail, provide solutions to help secure your plant operations and discuss how to successfully incorporate security concepts into your manufacturing processes for stronger cyber resilience.

Join this webinar to learn about:

  • Threat evolution and how threat actors are targeting industrial networks.
  • The anatomy of a cyber-attack and how they can evolve and expose weaknesses in your cyber defenses.
  • The risks remote working presents for OT networks.
  • Reducing risk and complexity by utilizing solutions from Rockwell Automation and Cisco.
