Securing Healthcare Summit

Hardening healthcare: a critical national emergency

25th May, 2023 • Online

It’s the perfect storm for a sector targeted as a priority by economic and state attackers. What needs to be done right now?

 

A critical priority for companies and governments

Healthcare is one of 13 sectors recognised as critical national infrastructure by the government’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), alongside others such as food, finance, energy and transport. A large cyberattack on one of these sectors can cause severe societal disruption, loss of essential services, and in some cases loss of life.


But the healthcare sector is perhaps the most complex challenge. Each of the UK’s four countries runs its own NHS. These are made up of thousands of organisations of varying size and digital competency ranging from some of the most  technologically advanced research organisations in the country through to individual GP surgeries.


There are 219 primary trusts many of which run more than one hospital. There are 7,500 GP practices and imagine the hacking possibilities afforded by around 1.2 million full-time equivalent staff, including 123,727 doctors, 332,341 nursing staff (including midwives and health visitors) and 33,907 managers, and at least 1.5 million electronic devices, including an increasing number of sophisticated IoT devices.

Maintaining consistent basic cyber hygiene across such a vast estate is an enormous task. Doing it on a budget is even more demanding. So:


• What are the key cyber threats to the healthcare system?
• What are the key data and infrastructure targets most attacked by hackers?
• How can the different parts of the NHS build strong security foundations?
• How can core asset inventory and visibility be improved?
• How much can Trusts rely on core application suites for cybersecurity?
• How can the NHS provide proportionate security across such a diverse estate while maintaining broader consistency and control?
• How are innovations in medical devices complicating healthcare security?


Securing the healthcare sector is not simply a critical priority for the individual entities which comprise it, it is must-do for nation-state security too.

 

The e-Crime & Cybersecurity Healthcare Summit will take place online and will look at how cybersecurity teams are tackling this new world. Join our real-life case studies and in-depth technical sessions from the security and privacy teams behind some of the world’s most admired brands.

  • Defending against the latest ransomware variants

    • Ransomware is effective precisely because it can exploit whatever weaknesses exist in your security architecture and processes
    • The threat and the actors are constantly evolving, and that evolution is forcing the hand of the government and causing havoc in the insurance market
    • What can CISOs do to better defend against ransomware?
  • Identity is essential

    • Widespread adoption of Cloud infrastructure has transformed identity into the new perimeter, and remote working has accelerated this process
    • With this comes many challenges: tracking identities, high complexity, lack of visibility, and ultimately, lack of security
    • What is the future of identity and access management? Is ZTNA and SASE the answer?
  • The importance of awareness

    • The point of entry for many criminals remains the same: email
    • Why is this vector still so vulnerable?
    • Will technology ever be able to plug the gap?
    • How can security leaders maintain awareness in enterprises that are becoming less office-centric?
  • The role of threat intelligence in security

    • Most companies in these sectors underestimate the range and sophistication of threats and threat actors.
    • Understanding threat types  is invaluable in determining security posture and prioritization of resources.
    • So, what is available and what should CISOs buy?
  • Getting better at ‘basic’ cyber hygiene

    • Email is still the key vector. Patching matters. MFA is essential.
    • Back-ups are non-negotiable.
    • How can security teams remain vigilant when ensuring cyber hygiene?
  • Upgrading Incident Response

    • How has the distribution of the enterprise affected the ability for security teams to respond to incidents?
    • Do businesses have a strategic plan to cope with their core business functions being downed by a successful attack?
    • What gaps in your incident response are there?
    • Do these pose an existential threat to your operations?
