SUMMARY:ISST Talks with CyNam: Making healthcare more cyber resilient
DESCRIPTION:In June 2023\, the records of more than a million patients were
  compromised in a ransomware attack on the University of Manchester. In 20
 22\, the Conti ransomware attack brought the Irish healthcare system to a 
 standstill. These are a few examples of the increasing number of cyber-att
 acks on the healthcare sector.\nCyber-attacks against healthcare providers
  are particularly damaging because they can directly impact the delivery o
 f safe patient care. Challenges include outdated and vulnerable IT infrast
 ructure\, unpatchable equipment\, a lack of staff trained in cybersecurity
 \, complex hierarchies and governance systems\, and a lack of governmental
  and institutional support and investment.\nDespite an increasing reliance
  on digital technologies to provide patient care\, the healthcare sector h
 as chronically underinvested in cyber resilience compared to other critica
 l sectors.\nHow can healthcare systems\, particularly the NHS\, become mor
 e cyber resilient? By gathering speakers and audience members from across 
 government\, industry\, and academia for a presentation series and panel d
 iscussion\, the Institute for Security Science and Technology (ISST) and
  CyNam aim to identify solutions and actions that we can recommend to ou
 r national networks and affiliates for further research and attention.\nTh
 e event will be chaired by Dr Saira Ghafur\, Digital Health Lead at the I
 nstitute of Global Health Innovation\, Security Science Fellow at ISST\, h
 onorary consultant in respiratory medicine at St Mary’s Hospital\, and C
 o-Founder of Prova Health and Psyma. Dr Ghafur has spearheaded Imperial 
 College London’s collaborations for healthcare cybersecurity.\n \nSpeak
 ers include\nCharlie Sammut – Deputy Director (Cyber\, Data\, Analytics
 \, and Surveillance Group)\, UK Health Security Agency\nThomas Russell-Mé
 senge – Head of System Engagement (Joint Cyber Unit)\, NHS England\n \
 nEvent schedule\n10:45am: Doors open for attendee registration. Drinks wil
 l be made available.\n11am: Presentations from each speaker and a panel di
 scussion chaired by Dr Ghafur.\nNoon: Networking and catered lunch.\n1pm: 
 Event close\n \nAbout the Institute for Security Science and Technology (
 ISST)\nThe Institute for Security Science and Technology is Imperial Colle
 ge London’s hub for security research and engagement.\nSecurity is often
  only viewed through the narrow lens of conflict and war. Our mission at t
 he Institute for Security Science and Technology is to challenge that perc
 eption and demonstrate the breadth and depth of a topic that touches every
 one in society\, wherever they are in the world.\n \nExplore the Institut
