Pharmaceutical Security

Pharmaceutical Cybersecurity
Built for Every Connected Environment

Protect your drug research and manufacturing networks without agents or scanning. Pharmaceutical networks run devices that traditional security tools cannot reach. ORDR discovers and protects every connected asset across your environment, from lab instruments to production OT, without disrupting a single process.

How It Works

How ORDR Secures Pharmaceutical Environments

ORDR uses passive network traffic analysis to discover and profile every connected device. No agents. No active scanning. No interaction with validated systems.

Initial discovery is completed within 48-72 hours. ORDR then generates segmentation policies from actual device behavior. Every policy runs against live traffic before enforcement, so no change disrupts manufacturing or research.

Why ORDR

Why Pharmaceutical Organizations Choose ORDR

No-Agent Discovery

ORDR identifies every device through passive traffic analysis. No scanning, no credentials, no risk to GxP or clean-room environments.

AI Trained on 100M+ Real-World Devices

Accurate profiling covers lab analyzers, bioreactors, and proprietary manufacturing protocols, including equipment from thousands of manufacturers.

Segmentation in Weeks, Not Months

Pharma organizations deploy validated segmentation policies in days or weeks, replacing projects that previously took 12-24 months.

Works With Existing Security Infrastructure

ORDR integrates with the firewalls and NAC platforms you already operate. No rip-and-replace required.

The Threat Landscape

Pharma Is the Top Target and the Hardest Environment to Secure

Deloitte research identifies pharma as the top global target for IP theft. The connected devices that carry that IP cannot run traditional security agents. Most tools leave them completely unprotected.

The challenge is not identifying risk. Your team can see it. The challenge is acting on it safely, across every device type, without disrupting regulated operations.

What Attackers Target

  • Drug formulas and active research data
  • Clinical trial results and regulatory filings
  • Manufacturing control systems and production networks
  • Patient records tied to active clinical programs

Compliance

Regulatory Alignment for Pharmaceutical Environments

The FDA published OT Cybersecurity Guidance for pharmaceutical manufacturing in June 2025. It requires complete asset inventory, zone-and-conduit architecture, and continuous monitoring. ORDR delivers all three through your existing network infrastructure.
