#InfosecurityEurope: UK NHS Trusts Asset Visibility Gaps Jeopardize Security Compliance

siteadmin June 19, 2023

A report by Armis has identified shortcomings in UK NHS Trusts’ cybersecurity practices, primarily owing to a lack of resources. Despite 35% of Trusts using automated systems to track connected assets, a third admitted they could not do the same for IoT devices. Additionally, 15% fail to track connected medical devices, and 19% have non-updated or rarely updated details for such devices. This leaves Trusts struggling to respond effectively to security threats and DSPT assessments.
