Why Cybersecurity Looks Different In Life Sciences

Cybersecurity has long been a difficult topic for operational teams, especially in environments built on legacy technologies that were never designed to withstand modern threats. With uptime and reliability at stake—and no direct link to increased output—it’s no surprise that cybersecurity often falls behind other operational priorities. Yet the life sciences sector stands apart. Here, OT teams tend to view risk and protection through a different lens, giving greater weight to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their systems. That shift in mindset influences how cybersecurity is planned, implemented, and maintained across manufacturing environments.
