DHSC; Security comes at a price |
A new multi-£m Microsoft package will ensure NHS systems have the most up-to-date software with the latest security settings. The deal with Microsoft will ensure all health & care organisations are using the latest Windows 10 software with up-to-date security settings to help prevent cyber attacks. Since 2017 the government has invested £60m to address cyber security weaknesses. A further £150m will be spent over the next 3 years to improve the NHS’s resilience against attacks. This will include setting up a new digital security operations centre to prevent, detect & respond to incidents. |
