The Cyber Sessions: Anatomy of a cyber team

The NHS is transforming patient care through advancements in technology and innovation. We increasingly rely on digital services and our cyber team has a vital role to protect them and ensure uninterrupted access to systems and data.  

Creating a robust defence requires more than just the latest technology. We need a cyber strategy, governance and policies in place, but we must be agile to respond to change. We also need diverse teams and people with different skills – and it’s not just the IT or cyber team that have a responsibility for security.  

In this episode we’ll discuss the challenges and successes of fostering a positive security culture and explore how engaging with staff helps strengthen the NHS’s resilience against evolving cyber threats.
