OVERVIEW:
Computer systems used in highly regulated companies include sensitive and valuable information. Some of this information includes valuable electronic submissions, clinical information, medical device design control records, legal information, and other such information. Recent events have highlighted sophisticated cybersecurity attacks everywhere including the White House! Corporations have been attacked at an alarming rate. What does this mean for computer systems validation?
Validation engineers must reconsider testing strategies that provide objective evidence that computer systems have the requisite technologies, processes, and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access. Validation engineers must be more vigilant in today’s sometimes-hostile systems environment in order to detect cybersecurity issues before they become real problems. This webinar will focus on the regulatory, legal, compliance and business risks associated with the threat of cybersecurity.
We will discuss the NIST Cybersecurity framework and how it can be applied to validated computer systems. We will also discuss a new level of qualification for validated computer systems known as Cybersecurity Qualification (CyQ). As validation engineers continue to conduct IQ, OQ, PQ, CyQ testing must be added as a defense against cyber attacks to validated computer systems.
Why should you Attend: Today’s headlines are filled with instances of cyber attacks resulting in denial of service, data theft or compromise and even ransomware holding critical data hostage while demanding payment. Is your company able to cope with a breach of one of your validated systems? How secure is your information in the cloud? Have you conducted adequate due diligence on your cloud provider? Increasingly life sciences companies are implementing and deploying systems in a cloud environment but lack the procedures and controls to effectively manage and protect their validated systems environments.
This timely webinar will address the unique threat of cyber attacks on validated systems environments and discuss how to mitigate and protect validated systems. This webinar will introduce the concept of Cybersecurity Qualification (or CyQ).If you are a validation engineer, validation project manager or software quality engineer, you will not want to miss this important webinar.
