Session overview
NHS Digital has the data, design and technological expertise to build national digital products at pace. 2020 gave technology and data innovators some food for thought, so throughout 2021 we are running a series of events as an opportunity to have a virtual discussion about our work in response to the challenges of the past year.
Join us: 21 October 2021, 8:00am – 9:00am, for Let’s talk cyber
COVID-19 has resulted in a rapid increase in digitisation and has caused fast uptake of new and existing technologies, join our session to find out how we kept the system safe during COVID-19. In this session, Neil Bennett, NHS Digital’s Chief Information Security Officer and Phil Huggins, National CISO, NHS X along with guest speakers, will have a conversation about the ongoing protection and how an increasingly digitised world means we must be super vigilant and cyber secure, where cyber hygiene is essential in protecting patients. We will also explore the future direction for cyber over the coming years.
