The top 5 cybersecurity threats to pharma for 2022
Are you adequately protected against cyberattacks? Find out what your cybersecurity priorities for 2022 should be from industry leaders
Industry experts from Fortinet and Hanu reveal the top five cybersecurity threats to watch out for in 2022, and explore the ways pharma organizations must secure and modernize data practices
It's no secret that pharma companies are struggling to protect themselves from cyberattacks amid the pandemic. Data breaches are costing the sector around US$5m a year, while one in 10 pharma companies are at risk of a ransomware attack, exacerbated by a perfect storm of shifting to remote working, increased growth, antiquated OT systems and a lack of cybersecurity skills.
Tighter regulations mean that cyber risks also result in heavy fines. While pharmaceutical companies have historically tailored security investments to meet compliance obligations, 56 per cent say they cannot determine compliance for endpoint devices.
This webinar provides essential advice for pharma companies to address these risks. Network and data security service provider Fortinet, and Azure service provider Hanu, will delve into five of the most severe threats and offer expert tips to avoid coming under attack.
