Healthcare has never been so attractive to cybercriminals. The virtual definition of a system that cannot sustain downtime, hacking gangs the world over have targeted hospitals and clinics to hold networks and data hostage, disrupt operations and generally inflict untold havoc on the sick and indigent. The UK’s National Health Service has proven especially vulnerable, with multiple attacks on third-party service providers paralysing care for thousands of patients and forcing staff to pick up pen and paper to schedule complex surgical operations.
In this forthcoming Tech Monitor webinar, brought to you in association with ManageEngine, we’ll examine just how vulnerable the NHS is to cyberattacks – and what practical steps can be taken to blunt the threat by leveraging common-sense, defensive innovations.
Topics for discussion will include:
- Advantages and disadvantages in securing decentralised networks across the NHS
- The unique cybersecurity challenges faced by the service
- Lessons learned from major attacks
- How recent technological innovations in healthcare complicate the NHS’s security journey
- What defensive cybersecurity innovations to look out for in healthcare in the years ahead
And we’ll showcase how healthcare providers are using ManageEngine’s products and services to ensure they have effective operational protection against global cyber-threats.
