NHS cyber security ‘crisis’ fuelled by huge landscape, low digital maturity

Cybersecurity is continuously posing major concerns for the healthcare sector, with the NHS being subjected to many attacks due to the vast landscape and digital immaturity. Deryck Mitchelson, chief information security officer (CISO) at Check Point Software Technologies Ltd, suggests that the NHS must reduce its landscape to lower the threat of cyberattacks. Scarisbrick, sales director and deputy managing director at Sectra, agrees, saying the healthcare industry is twice as likely to be attacked.
