Pharma and Biotech Are Leading Targets for Cybercrime and Industrial Espionage

The pharmaceutical industry holds some of the world’s most valuable intellectual property. It’s also one of the sectors most targeted by data exfiltration malware and industrial espionage, with USB devices serving as a common entry point.

TYREX Decontamination Stations scan, analyze, and decontaminate removable media to stop viruses and malware before they reach your critical systems.

Built for the Realities of the Life Sciences Industry

Protect Legacy Equipment and Air-Gapped Networks

Many lab instruments run on legacy systems incompatible with modern endpoint protection. Decontamination Stations create a security layer that stops threats before they reach equipment that can’t defend itself.

Meet FDA, GxP, and HIPAA Requirements

Regulators expect documented controls over removable media. TYREX provides audit trails and technical enforcement to demonstrate compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 and GxP data integrity requirements.

Stop Threats from Contractors and Vendors

Vendor USB drives are outside your control until they reach your facility. Scan every device before it connects to your systems to make third-party device security a checkpoint instead of a trust exercise.

Scan and Decontaminate Removable USB Media

USB security policies and training don’t stop sophisticated threats that use physical devices, social engineering, and supply chain attacks to bypass network protections. You need technical enforcement to secure sensitive systems.

How TYREX USB Decontamination Works

Insert

Plug in any removable device. TYREX stations accept USB drives, external hard drives, SD cards, and Android devices. Scanning begins automatically.

Scan

Multiple antivirus and malware engines analyze the device. They detect signature-based threats, zero-day exploits, and firmware-level BadUSB attacks that traditional security tools miss.

Clean

Malicious content is neutralized using military-grade sanitization. Your files remain intact; the threats don’t.

Certify

Clean devices optionally receive a digital certificate. Pair with the TYREX Workstation Protect Agent to enforce a policy where only certified devices connect to protected systems.

Trusted by 350+ organizations worldwide across energy, manufacturing, maritime, aerospace, and government.

USB Decontamination For All Aspects of Biotech and Pharma Workflows

TYREX provides USB virus and malware removal solutions to infrastructure providers and enterprise organizations across numerous industries.

Research and Development

Protect the R&D investment concentrated in data files moving between air-gapped HPC systems and legacy lab instruments. Eliminate firmware-level threats like SOGU and Tardigrade before they reach research environments where a single breach can compromise billion-dollar development programs.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing downtime means immediate shortages and cascading supply chain failures. Enforce proof-based USB decontamination before files infect production control systems to protect batch integrity and operational continuity.

Clinical Trials

Patient data and proprietary trial results flow between sponsor organizations and dozens of investigator sites worldwide. Scan every USB device at the point of transfer to ensure HIPAA compliance and block threats that could compromise years of research.

Quality Control Laboratories

Analytical instruments generate high volumes of release-critical data through USB ports that lack native security controls. Validate every file transfer with forensic-grade audit trails so QC data maintains the integrity required for FDA compliance and confident release decisions.

Banning USB devices isn't realistic. Decontaminating them is.

Pharmaceutical and Biotech USB Security FAQ

Can TYREX protect legacy lab equipment running older operating systems?

Yes. Stations operate as standalone checkpoints, so no software is installed on legacy instruments. USB devices are scanned before they reach your equipment. For direct endpoint protection, the Workstation Protect Agent is an optional software agent that runs on the endpoint itself and rejects devices that lack a certificate indicating they have been decontaminated. The TYREX Hardware Agent is a physical device that sits between the USB port and legacy systems, creating a protocol break between USB drives and legacy equipment that cannot run the Workstation Protect Agent.

How does TYREX support FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GxP, and HIPAA compliance?

TYREX scans every device and eliminates threats before they reach regulated systems. The Workstation Protect Agent extends this protection to endpoints and prevents uncertified devices from connecting to systems with sensitive data. Every scan is logged with user attribution and timestamps to create the audit trail regulators expect.

Will USB scanning disrupt laboratory or manufacturing workflows?

No, scanning takes from a few seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on the amount of data on the device. Smaller stations like the TYREX SATELLITE and TYREX TOTEM can be placed at convenient locations in labs, offices, and other workspaces and easily integrated into common data transfer workflows.

How does TYREX handle USB devices from equipment service vendors and contractors?

Deploy stations at entry points to scan all external USB devices before they connect to your systems. After a clean scan, TYREX can optionally attach a digital certificate to the device indicating it’s safe to use. The Workstation Protect Agent blocks any device without a valid certificate from connecting across your network. The TYREX Management Server logs all vendor device activity.

What media types does TYREX support besides USB flash drives?

TYREX stations scan external hard drives, SD cards, CD-ROMs, and Android devices. That covers the full range of removable media used in laboratory and manufacturing environments.

How do the stations receive threat definition updates?

Networked stations update automatically via the TYREX Management Server, which downloads updated threat definitions from the TYREX Central Server. Air-gapped stations update via secure physical media using the same process you already use for other system updates in validated environments.
