The Need for Cybersecurity of Pharmacies & Cooperatives

Cyberattacks do not only concern large organizations and businesses. Specifically, only 20% are targeted at large businesses, while the majority ( 80% ) are carried out on random targets.

In a cyberattack, a third party enters the organization’s or business’s network, identifies where the critical data and backups are located, and damages both the backups and the data in the operational part of the work.

The purpose is always financial extortion. Unfortunately, an organization in the pharmaceutical industry has not included cyberattacks in its backups and operational data as a provision for its business continuity.

The following suggestions from TicTac Cyber ​​Security aim to upgrade protection, cybersecurity levels, and business continuity in this specific industry.

1. SUGGESTIONS FOR PHARMACIES

1.1 Protection from Cyberattacks – Pharma Cyber ​​Angel

With this subscription plan, pharmacies consisting of 1 to 3 workplaces can have basic endpoint protection services via EDR with human supervision on their devices at a very preferential price.

The difference between the EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) service used to provide the service, and a simple Antivirus, is that the EDR system, in addition to Antivirus, offers more advanced protection tools and supervision by cybersecurity engineers. The biggest problem with using Antivirus software that experts do not supervise is that hackers can easily compromise it.

1.2 Backup & Disaster Recovery – Pharma Business Continuity

The backup systems used in most small and medium-sized businesses today are insufficient to protect against cyberattacks. Many businesses do not have a standardized backup process, and no one oversees their backups.

Having an external drive or NAS storage for a business’s backups used to be sufficient to cover data loss due to natural disasters or human error. However, nowadays, cyberattacks change everything, as hackers in 95% of cyberattacks first destroy the backups and then the business’s data.

For the above reasons, TicTac uses Acronis ‘ service to create copies in the Cloud or locally on the infrastructure, which are unaffected by Ransomware attacks and encryption.

Also, in the event that the company’s data is destroyed, the ability to run the server with the company’s data in the Cloud within 30 minutes is provided.

2. PROPOSALS FOR PHARMACEUTICAL COOPERATIVES

In addition to the basic pharmacy solutions mentioned above, Pharma Cyber ​​Angel and Pharma Business Continuity, for cooperatives, we additionally propose the following services:

2.1+ Expansion of Pharma Cyber ​​Angel with “WISER.”

TicTac’s Wiser platform provides online cybersecurity training for all employees. The training is delivered through modern software with animated videos and tested for understanding with automated Phishing Tests. Reporting and Certification capabilities are also provided.

2.3 Incident Response & Cyber Insurance Retainer

Protection systems like EDR and Cloud Backup are there to protect us. This does not mean that they prevent persistent cyberattacks. If a hacker targets an organization and has enough time at their disposal, they will manage to enter the network, creating problems in the daily lives of the staff. In this case, cybersecurity engineers take on the task of isolating the infection and cleaning the infrastructure.

That’s why TicTac’s Incident Response & Cyber ​​Insurance Retainer was created. This service provides insurance coverage for cyber attacks and the intervention of specialized cybersecurity engineers who will be there whenever you need them. With this service, TicTac’s team of engineers intervenes immediately in critical situations, is available remotely within 1 hour, and is physically present within 24 hours to take action.

Also included is insurance coverage in the event of a cybersecurity incident with compensation of up to €1,000,000 for costs that include technical & legal services, as well as costs for business interruption.

2.4 Cybersecurity Audit and Business Continuity Recovery Plan

This is a series of audits involving a cybersecurity and business continuity audit exercise that is recommended to be carried out once a year in every organization. During this exercise, we discover vulnerabilities in the external and internal perimeters of the organization, as well as the speed or ability to recover from a cyberattack. All protection systems are also checked for their effectiveness.

More specifically, the services provided are the following:

1. External Whitebox Penetration Testing
   After providing us with basic information about your infrastructure (IP addresses), our team will perform a test to determine how easy it is for a third party to penetrate your infrastructure.
2. Risk Assessment
   Our team will review your backup practices, disaster recovery time, and endpoint policies and recommend improvement steps. We will also review the existence of logs (Firewall, access logs, etc.) and conduct a formal audit to determine if there are any signs of a breach in your organization on your endpoints and servers.
3. Private – Cybersecurity Training for Staff
   In a 4-hour seminar, we train your staff on the new ways that malicious users exploit technology to break into accounts and gain access to corporate or personal data, along with best practices for avoiding them.ής αυτών

2.5 Firewall & Management

The Firewall is an essential infrastructure control element, as it is the contact between an organization’s internal network and the outside world. It controls what enters and exits our network in terms of connections and data, thus increasing the protection of our network from external malicious users. It also allows us to segment our network so that we can limit the damage if a cyberattack occurs.

ATTENTION: Many people buy and install a firewall, but no one supervises it. Therefore, it does not have meaningful participation in protecting the network.

Top-notch professionals, guaranteed quality of service… they managed to recover 100% of the files from my Kingston SSD laptop drive. I had lost years’ worth of work documents and all my photos. The drive wasn’t showing up anywhere and my laptop would freeze at startup.

I had taken it to two or three technicians who told me there was no hope of recovery – and that’s when they recommended TicTac. I left the drive with them for diagnosis, and within three days I was fully informed about which files could be recovered. In just 2 days, I had everything back — intact. I’m incredibly grateful…

Tic Tac Data Recovery provided a very good and professional service. The damaged hard drive was given to two specialists data recovery companies in the UK who could not recover any data. (Note: these two UK companies carry out both forensic and security work)

Well done Tic Tac for a good job!
