Barts Health NHS Trust faces cyber security incident

In recent cybersecurity attacks on UK public sector organisations, including Barts Health NHS Trust and the University of Manchester, millions of patients’ data were compromised. The attacks demonstrate the sector’s vulnerability to threats and underscore the need for improved security infrastructure, regular data backups, risk assessments, employee training, and public-private collaboration. The breaches erode public trust and can result in significant financial losses and reputational damage.
