Getting to grips with cyber security
Overview
NHS England has been clear: cyber security is a board leadership issue, not just a technical one. Boards are being asked to appoint executive accountability and assure themselves and their organisations that clear, sustained programmes for improvement are in place. But what does demonstrating grip look like in practice?
Join our Digital Boards peer learning event exploring best practice in cyber security. We’ll be joined by NHS England providing expectations on cyber security from the centre and what this means for your organisations, as well as Public Digital and a trust providing their thoughts on how this translates strategically for boards, the lessons learnt from previous incidents in external industries and the healthcare sector, and how you can respond to this.
Aims
- To build confidence and awareness for senior leaders on what they need to prioritise on the cyber agenda and how to convert this into practical actions.
- Hear first-hand accounts from peers and gain insights on the impact of cyber-attacks and how to implement best practice across your organisation.
- Understand the questions boards should be asking to seek assurance and the support they can provide to their digital leaders and teams.
