The UK government has announced plans to strengthen the National Health Service\u2019s (NHS) cybersecurity.<\/p>\n
A new multi-million-pound Microsoft package will ensure NHS systems are using the latest Windows 10 software with up-to-date security settings to help prevent cyberattacks.<\/p>\n
The government said that, since 2017, it had invested \u00a360 million to address cybersecurity weaknesses.<\/p>\n
There are plans for a further \u00a3150 million to be spent over the next three years to improve the NHS\u2019s resilience against attacks.<\/p>\n
This will include, the government says, setting up a new digital security operations centre to prevent, detect and respond to incidents.<\/p>\n
The centre will allow NHS Digital to respond to cyberattacks more quickly and allow local trusts to detect threats, isolate infected machines and kill the threat before it spreads.<\/p>\n
Health and Social Care Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: \u201cWe know cyberattacks are a growing threat, so it is vital our health and care organisations have secure systems which patients trust.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been building the capability of NHS systems over a number of years but there is always more to do to future-proof our NHS against this threat.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new technology will ensure the NHS can use the latest and most resilient software available \u2013 something the public rightly expect.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
