UK Government Unveils Plan to Safeguard NHS from Cyber Attacks
Mar 22,2023
The UK government has released a new strategy to protect the NHS from cyber attacks.
The plan aims to improve the resilience of the NHS against cyber threats, which have become more frequent and sophisticated in recent years.
The strategy sets out a range of measures to enhance the cyber security of the NHS, including investing in new technologies and training for staff.
The government will also establish a new National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) unit specifically focused on protecting the health sector.
The NCSC unit will provide expert guidance, advice, and support to the NHS on a range of cybersecurity issues.
The plan also includes measures to improve the sharing of information and intelligence between the NHS and government agencies, as well as better coordination in the event of a cyber attack.
The government is committed to ensuring that the NHS remains a safe and secure place for patients and staff and that it can continue to deliver high-quality care in the face of evolving cyber threats.
