GSK Spotlight
“I can sleep much better at night knowing that I have a solution and I can actually get the visibility.”
— Mike Elmore, identified as GSK CISO in the 2023 video
GSK worked with Elisity on the segmentation approach described in this customer story.
Why did GSK choose identity-based microsegmentation?
Protecting pharmaceutical production means understanding which devices are on the network and how they communicate. In this video, Mike Elmore describes GSK’s work with Elisity to move beyond a traditional firewall segmentation project.
Visibility before policy
Elmore describes identifying devices and the identities behind them so security teams can make informed access decisions.
Policy that follows the device
Rather than tying access only to where a device connects, GSK’s approach uses identity context to keep policy with the device as it moves.
A manufacturing security perspective
The conversation connects network security with the responsibility of protecting medicine production.
