The Provider Podcast - How to prepare for a cyber attack

In this episode, Chris Fleming is joined by senior director and head of local government at Public Digital, Cate McLaurin. 

In 2020, the London Borough of Hackney experienced a major ransomware cyber attack and data theft. As head of delivery, Cate was instrumental in leading the council’s response. In this episode she warns that although cyber attacks are inevitable, leaders can reduce the risk to their organisation. Cate shares how leaders can best mitigate, prepare for and respond to similar situations. 

This podcast series is delivered by NHS Providers in partnership with the NHS Confederation and Public Digital, and supported by NHS England as part of their NHS Digital Academy, the series explores how senior leaders in the health sector can confidently lead their organisations in the shift from analogue to digital.
