AI Security and Compliance in Pharmaceuticals
Trustwise delivers an AI Security and Control Layer, which includes AI Trust Management for Agentic AI Systems. Modern AI projects fail to scale, not because of a lack of ambition, but due to unreliability, inefficiency, and lack of control. This is the Trust Gap, a critical barrier to achieving widespread AI adoption. The emergence of agentic AI only widens this gap, introducing greater complexity and risk. Our solutions (Harmony Ai) minimize the Trust Gap throughout the entire AI lifecycle, from simulation and verification to optimization and governance. Trustwise helps large organizations realize AI Trust and Security at scale.
Risks in Information Technologies
The ever-evolving information technology landscape brings forth a multitude of risks that can impact the operations and security of large pharmaceutical companies. It is crucial for Chief Technical Officers to be well-informed about these risks to maintain adequate visibility and control over potentially malicious, drifted, or poisoned tools, especially in multi-cloud or partner-integrated environments. Here are some of the risks associated with the use of information technologies that CTOs at pharmaceutical companies need to consider:
1. Cybersecurity Threats:
– Potential vulnerabilities in IT systems and networks can be exploited by malicious actors, leading to data breaches, intellectual property theft, and operational disruptions.
– The interconnected nature of modern IT infrastructure increases the risk of cyberattacks, especially in multi-cloud or partner-integrated environments.
2. Data Privacy and Compliance:
– Pharmaceutical companies handle sensitive patient data and proprietary research information, making them prime targets for data breaches and non-compliance with regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR.
– Inaccurate data handling and storage practices can lead to regulatory fines and reputational damage for pharmaceutical organizations.
3. Technology Integration Risks:
– Integration of diverse IT systems and platforms, including third-party solutions, can introduce compatibility issues, leading to operational inefficiencies and security vulnerabilities.
– Lack of visibility and control over integrated technologies can create blind spots in security and governance, increasing the risk of unauthorized access and data manipulation.
4. Insider Threats:
– Employees, contractors, or partners with access to privileged information pose a potential risk to data security and intellectual property protection.
– Inadequate monitoring and control mechanisms can expose pharmaceutical companies to insider threats such as data theft, sabotage, and unauthorized system access.
