Building OT resilience in pharmaceutical and biopharma labs and factories

Operational technology (OT) downtime in the pharmaceutical industry can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour, even before factoring in the costs of scrapped materials, revalidation and supply-chain penalties. Meanwhile, pharma research laboratory and plant managers must worry about compliance with standards like IEC/ISA 62443, EU GMP Annex 11 and the recently expanded obligations of NIS 2. Adding to this pressure is news of recent cyberattacks on biotech firms, lab services providers and manufacturers costing millions in recovery expenses, lost business and compliance fines. 

If a widespread ransomware attack or other outage were to hit your research lab or pharma manufacturing line, how would you get those critical processes running again quickly? How valuable would it be to empower workers at the lab or plant level to get your OT systems back online in a matter of minutes without IT intervention?

That kind of cyber resilience is exactly what leading pharma and biopharma companies are deploying for research and manufacturing facilities: the ability for any employee to restore critical computers after an outage with push-button simplicity. Register now to reserve your spot for this Acronis webinar that will: 

• Examine the range of cyberthreats confronting the pharma and biopharma industries, including new AI-enhanced ransomware attacks.

• Provide a real-time demonstration of how Acronis Cyber Protect enables one-click recovery for research labs and factory floors, enabling workers with no IT skills to restore their OT computers within minutes of an outage.

• Explore additional tactics to reinforce your overall cyber resilience with EDR, AI-powered ransomware countermeasures and HIPAA-compliant disaster recovery. 

Cybercriminals are reaping huge profits by exploiting the extravagant cost of downtime to pharma and biopharma, and using GenAI tools to improve the ingenuity and scale of their cyberattacks. That makes it more critical than ever to ensure you’re not just taking steps to stop cyberattacks, but to recover quickly when one inevitably succeeds. Learn how to build true cyber resilience for your research labs and production facilities by registering for this complimentary event today.
