Pharmaceutical Company Expects to Improve Security With Affordable Solution

Overview

Richter Gedeon makes pharmaceutical products for distribution throughout the world. The company has offices in 30 countries and operates four manufacturing sites. During 2007, it completed acquisitions of other companies, including the largest pharmaceutical company in Poland. Now Richter Gedeon needs a solution that meets the challenges of securing its multinational IT environment. Additionally, the solution must help the company manage access to its network by its many contractors and vendors. Richter Gedeon expects to begin deployment of the Windows Server 2008 operating system in the first quarter of 2008. The company plans to test features such as Network Access Protection (NAP) during a pilot involving 100 computers in IT. A gradual deployment of the operating system is planned for the rest of the company.
