Securing Pharmaceutical OT

Compliance Pressure

Pharmaceutical manufacturers must adhere to stringent regulatory and cybersecurity frameworks such as IEC 62443, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and GAMP 5, but implementing these standards can be challenging due to resource limitations, complex supply chains, and the need to maintain strict production schedules. Without a proactive cybersecurity approach, companies risk regulatory violations, compromised drug safety, and loss of sensitive research data. The challenge isn’t just compliance – it’s securing pharmaceutical operations while maintaining productivity and patient trust.

OT Cybersecurity Risks

OT systems in the Pharmaceutical industry were designed for controlled manufacturing environments, where security was traditionally focused on process reliability rather than cyber resilience. However, digital transformation, automation, and IT/OT convergence have expanded the attack surface, exposing legacy systems and third-party access vulnerabilities. Cyberattacks can disrupt operations, compromise safety, delay supply chains, and trigger regulatory penalties. As pharmaceutical operations become more digitalized, securing OT environments and protecting critical manufacturing processes is essential to ensuring patient safety and business continuity.
