Helping the health sector prepare, detect and protect from cyber breaches

Why attend

The Cyber Security Symposium will address how individuals can become an integral part of their organisations’ preparedness strategy for future attacks, how data should and is being managed and what the strategic vision needs to be to create a compliant and cybersafe culture in the NHS and wider healthcare sector.

Attendees will learn from practical case-study examples from both inside and outside of the NHS which will support high level discussion and strategy from NHS Digital, NHS England and Dame Fiona Caldicott.
