In this episode of Security Done Different we are joined by Michael Knight, Chief Information Security Officer for NHS South East London.
Matt and Michael discuss the challenges and opportunities within the NHS's cybersecurity landscape, particularly in relation the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) objective D: incident response.
Michael highlights the critical need for a thorough understanding of essential services, the complexities of multi-agency collaboration, and the importance of proactive risk treatment. He also emphasises the role of simulation tools in preparing for cyber incidents, the integration of AI-driven technologies, and the cross-disciplinary cooperation required to strengthen NHS cybersecurity frameworks.
With a focus on governance and incident preparedness, it’s clear the importance of improving documentation processes and using technology to automate triage and recovery efforts will be a must going forward.
If you’re interested in gaining deeper insights into how the NHS is changing its approach to cybersecurity and resilience, this conversation is a must-listen!
