Securing the Future of Healthcare: Navigating the Cybersecurity Landscape in the NHS
The NHS Security Conference is an opportunity for healthcare professionals and industry leaders to come together and discuss the latest trends and developments in security for the NHS. The conference will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions and will provide a forum for attendees to share best practices, learn from experts in the field, and stay up to date on the latest developments in NHS security.
With an increasing number of cyber-attacks and data breaches targeting healthcare organisations, it is more important than ever for the NHS to stay vigilant and proactively address security risks, to help tackle this growing area of concern, all health and care organisations are expected to implement the 10 National Data Guardian (NDG) standards for data security. These standards are designed to protect sensitive data and protect critical services which may be affected by a disruption to critical IT systems, this provides a timely opportunity to meet up, share practical insights, and network with peers.
Key NHS Security Trends:
- Increasing threats from cyber-attacks and data breaches
- The need for better collaboration and information sharing between NHS organizations and other stakeholders.
- The role of technology in enhancing security and protecting patient data
- The importance of training and awareness-raising to address security risks.
- The need to balance security and privacy concerns with the delivery of high-quality healthcare.
With an increasing number of cyber-attacks and data breaches targeting healthcare organisations, it is more important than ever for the NHS to stay vigilant and proactively address security risks.

Case Study - Staying ahead of compliance and threats, in a sustainable way
Daniel Trivellato
VP OT & IoMT Solutions
Forescout
Case Study - Forescout
In this session we’ll explain how visibility across your entire environment, IT, OT and IoT/IoMT, can drive your security automation strategy and provide assurance that security frameworks and compliance requirements are continually adhered to. We’ll also look at how visibility can be leveraged to quantify risk and how introducing security polices and controls, like NAC, ZTNA or segmentation, can enhance your risk posture over time. Lastly, we’ll explain how visibility can underpin Threat Detection & Response, complimenting existing SIEM investments and provide security operations teams with actionable incident information.

As we transform our business models to deliver more agile services the increasing threat of ransomware can potentially disrupt those services causing an impact on society. While we can continue to spend more money or traditional security approaches a shift in thinking to Zero Trust will be more effective and save money. In this session we will address the following topics:
· How to identify and define risk
· How to reduce the attack surface
· How to contain a ransomware attack
· How to respond and restore services during an attack

We'll take a practical look at the wide-ranging attack surface, the different ways these attacks happen, and the risks they pose to the NHS. We'll highlight the importance of bringing together your security efforts instead of using separate and siloed tools. Plus, you'll discover how Extended Detection and Response (XDR) can be the solution to boosting your cybersecurity resilience.

Making cyber security everyone’s responsibility (Confirmed)
Tej Gudka
Head of Cyber Security
NHS Arden & GEM CSU
As the healthcare sector increasingly relies on digital systems and technology to deliver services to patients, organisations are being faced with more complex risks from sophisticated hacking and cyber warfare. To minimise the risk of disruption or delay that can be caused by an attack on IT infrastructure, we must combine more robust systems with training and support for all NHS staff. In the same way we have seen with areas such as data protection and core technology, cyber security needs to become entrenched. In this session we will look at some of the practical ways that organisations can support their staff to be aware of and responsive to common cyber threats such as phishing emails and password hacking. We will also explore the impact that the modern working environment – from large numbers of people working from home to buildings full of interconnected devices – has on cyber risk and how an open, honest and reflective culture can help reduce risk and its impact.
