Remote and mobile working practices putting the NHS at great risk, Sophos survey finds.
A new study has discovered that the
NHS is lacking thorough security protection against a growing number of online threats.
An investigation by
Sophos found that there is a significant gap between the perceived strength of IT security measures in NHS networks and the actual level of security in place.
This discrepancy is particularly worrying as the NHS was named as the UKs number one victim of data breaches last year by the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), as data leakage and loss of hardware,
such as USB keys, put the organisation at risk of attack.
