In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, cybersecurity has emerged as a critical concern. As technology becomes increasingly intertwined with medical practices, safeguarding sensitive patient data and ensuring the resilience of healthcare systems against cyber threats is paramount. However, amidst the focus on technological solutions, the human aspect of cybersecurity often takes a backseat. This talk aims to shed light on the crucial role of human behaviour in fortifying healthcare's cyber defences and draws parallels from the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the NHS increasingly relies on digital systems and technology to deliver services to patients, weak passwords present a cyber risk which can compromise data and system security and potentially disrupt patient care. Yet, identifying and managing this risk across a large numbers of users is time and resource intensive.
In this fireside chat, Craig Kilgour will share how using an RPA lifecycle approach to identify weak passwords across five domains, and prompt users to take action, has resulted in a quicker, more efficient and more accurate process which provides greater transparency and reassurance.
