This slogan emphasizes that every employee is responsible for safeguarding the company's core technologies and information, encouraging each person to practice information security in their respective roles. It serves as a reminder that even minor carelessness by an individual can negatively impact the company's overall information security, and aims to establish security as a sustainable organizational culture rather than a one-time campaign.

The reason Samsung Biologics continues its efforts to internalize security awareness and spread a company-wide security culture is that the technologies it possesses are core strategic technologies that require protection at the national level.

Previously, in 2021, Samsung Biologics was designated as a company possessing national core technology under the Industrial Technology Protection Act, based on its "animal cell culture and purification technology for capacities exceeding 10,000 liters." In 2023, it was also recognized as a holder of national advanced strategic technology under the National Advanced Strategic Industry Act, officially establishing its status as a key company responsible for South Korea's biopharmaceutical production sovereignty.

Based on this awareness, Samsung Biologics has been continuously carrying out various activities to strengthen information protection capabilities in technical, physical, and managerial aspects, in addition to encouraging its employees.

From a technical perspective, the company operates a 24/7 real-time cyber threat monitoring system based on advanced IT security infrastructure. Through a multi-layered security system-including firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and malware detection systems-it proactively responds to external threats. The security control center operates year-round, and the company continuously adopts and upgrades the latest security technologies.

On the physical side, Samsung Biologics strictly manages access control systems, security screening procedures, and the management of information device entry and exit to physically protect information assets. Regular training and education are also provided to on-site security personnel. Notably, starting in 2025, the company will be the first in the domestic pharmaceutical and biotech industry to implement a company-wide secure paper adoption and management system, fundamentally blocking external leakage of critical documents and controlling the entire document lifecycle from creation to disposal, thereby enhancing document security systems.

From a managerial standpoint, Samsung Biologics has institutionalized on-site, practical training such as monthly simulated phishing exercises to strengthen employees' real-world response capabilities to security incidents. Every July is designated as "Information Protection Month," during which participatory programs such as poster contests, quiz events, and sharing of security case studies are held. Additionally, the company promotes a voluntary security culture among employees by offering rewards for security reporting and outstanding information protection practices.

John Rim, CEO of Samsung Biologics, stated, "As a company that possesses both national core technology and national advanced strategic technology, Samsung Biologics is making every effort, together with all employees, to safeguard the competitiveness of the national industry. We will continue to do our utmost to strengthen the global competitiveness of the biopharmaceutical industry through the voluntary efforts of all employees and the company's thorough security systems."
