"It's more than I would have anticipated before I came into the role," says Williams. "But when you look at the escalating impact of threats and ransomware attacks, it's something that we pay very, very close attention to."
"The reputational risk is huge. We deal with a lot of patient data. And so, it is integrated into everything that we do," says Williams, emphasizing the critical importance of cybersecurity in their operations.
Since late 2019, Williams has led the technology organization for Merck's research, manufacturing, and business units, underscoring the growing prominence of cybersecurity in his role.
"I don't feel like I ever have to oversell the importance of us staying modern and current," states Williams, indicating strong support from Merck's C-suite for cybersecurity initiatives.
