Banner maintains manufacturing plants in the US, Europe, Canada and Mexico. The company’s drug production process is controlled and monitored through network systems beginning with the first steps of the manufacturing process through packaging and shipping, and the company must meet strict FDA requirements to ensure the safety of its healthcare products.
AT&T will establish a network-based firewall for the global drug delivery and proprietary healthcare products company, which will help secure Banner’s operations in North America and the Netherlands.
AT&T’s firewall and security management services provide advanced network technology in securing Banner’s manufacturing and business operations. This will enable Banner to better standardize security processes and procedures, saving time and money while protecting the safety of its products.
Banner is committed to developing the most innovative drug delivery systems and technologies, so we need network security and operability that can keep up with our mission, said Bill Bissinger, vice president of information technologies at Banner. AT&T’s security offerings and global reach not only give us what we need but also actually help us improve our business by increasing the efficiency of Banner’s security procedures and maintaining scalability of the network as we grow.
