The UK Health Cyber Security Summit Improving the state of cyber security in health care organisations Moving from regulatory compliance to the cyber security threat response
In 2014-2015, The Department for Business & Skills reported that 81% of large organisations and 60% of small businesses in the UK had suffered a cyber security breach. 43% of those companies belonged to the healthcare sector. With the strong drive to move towards a paperless NHS and to increase usage of digital devices across all operation areas, healthcare is one of the most popular targets for cyber-attacks nationally and globally. Patients’ Protected Health Information can be used in a multitude of attacks, from identity fraud to financial exploitation. With eighty-five percent of large health organizations having experienced a data breach in the prior 12 months, it is hardly surprising a greater investment is anticipated in security over the course of 2016. Executive boards are forced to address cyber security as a strategic management issue to avoid high costs of data breaches in the unpredictable future. Following on from our successful Cyber Security Series in 2014-2015, The UK Health Cyber Security Summit will examine the latest cyber security issues faced by NHS, private hospitals and GP practices, with particular emphasis on cyber resilience, cloud-based threat intelligence, security of medical devices, electronic patient records as well as new mobile healthcare services. The programme will also include sessions on the European and US responses to the rising threat of cyber-crime in health and social care. Delegates will benefit from personalised advice from world-renowned experts and from hearing about the key cyber security issues facing industry players across the globe.
