Gaining Visibility into a Fragmented Supply Chain

Staying on Top of a Multi-Channel Supply Chain and Decentralized Infrastructure

Pharmaceutical companies have embraced digital transformation and acquisitions as a path to innovation and efficiency. And, in an effort to reduce supply chain costs and accommodate fluctuating demand, they are also outsourcing operations.

As the industry flexes to find synergies, a complex web of operational processes, networks and data flow emerges.

This leads to process and asset visibility challenges and a larger attack surface, increasing pharma’s vulnerability to cyber threats. Given multiple pressure points, there is a new sense of urgency within the sector to better protect valuable data and production processes.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers need a comprehensive security solution that has the ability to automatically inventory industrial assets and provide visibility into the entire ICS. This is the first step to building a stronger OT and IoT security posture.

THE SOLUTION

Using Real-time Network Visualization to Improve Pharma System Awareness

The Nozomi Networks solution addresses common operational visibility challenges through real-time network visualization and monitoring.

As soon as it’s deployed, the solution begins analyzing your network traffic, using the data to build a live, interactive visualization of your operational systems. The breadth and depth of information is often surprising, giving you visibility into aspects of the ICS you weren’t previously aware of.

An extensive amount of useful information is available, including:

A macro view of the entire OT and IoT network, that is easily changed to show zones, topology, nodes, links, sessions, and traffic
The ability to navigate and filter by different subnets and network segments
The role of each node and the traffic between nodes
The protocols used to communicate between nodes and between zones
Network traffic information such as throughput, protocols and open TCP connections
The detailed attributes of endpoints and connections

The Nozomi Networks solution provides comprehensive visibility into your industrial network and OT/IoT assets. It helps you manage and monitor your processes in a highly efficient way, identifying risks to reliability and making it easy to troubleshoot problems. Device visibility is a key foundation for improving cybersecurity.
