County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust
Increasing network visibility to better detect, diagnose, resolve and report on cyber risks
Overview
Visibility is the best defence against today’s cyber threats, to highlight as early as possible any issues that could represent compromise. County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust knew that it lacked visibility of its network and to be fully secure it needed greater transparency of what was happening across its IT estate. Here we learn how the Trust worked with ITHealth to gain an accessible, dynamic network view to better detect, diagnose and remediate risks, whilst also streamlining and enhancing security processes.
County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest integrated care providers in England, serving a population of around 650,000. With a 7,000 strong workforce, it provides hospital services from two acute sites – Darlington Memorial Hospital and University Hospital of North Durham. It has a centre for planned care in Bishop Auckland, and provides community services from 5 community hospitals, over 80 other community-based settings and within patients’ homes.
