Securing the NHS: Optimising Vendor Access & Strengthening Infrastructure

Virtual Event: GoTo

Why this event matters now:

NHS digital infrastructure is under increasing strain. Legacy systems, rising demand, and the reliance on specialist vendor support make third-party access unavoidable. Yet this access creates significant risks.

Almost half of organisations experienced a breach in the past year linked to vendor access. In the context of growing cyber threats against healthcare, the NHS must act decisively to protect critical systems.

Why we’re hosting this event:

This webinar will equip NHS leaders, IT teams, and cybersecurity professionals with practical strategies for securing vendor access without disrupting service delivery. With the right frameworks and tools, Trusts can ensure continuity of care, minimise security exposure, and reduce the operational burden on stretched IT departments.

Timeliness:

  • Growing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks targeting healthcare.
  • Ongoing NHS digital transformation initiatives that demand secure, resilient infrastructure.
  • The operational imperative to protect patient services while enabling specialist vendor support.

Key delegate learning outcomes:

  • Clarity on the risks and challenges of third-party access in NHS IT systems.
  • Insight into the latest Privileged Access Security (PAS) solutions and frameworks.
  • Best practice for providing vendors with the exact level of access required.
  • Examples of how modern security tools reduce management overheads while strengthening compliance.
  • Practical steps for building resilience into NHS digital infrastructure.
