In total, the NHS has suffered 209 successful ransomware attacks since 2014.
The report was compiled after surveying 245 NHS Trusts.
A new investigation claims that the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) has
taken a remarkable stride in its cybersecurity since the WannaCry ransomware
attack. According to the latest figures, it has been found that the
healthcare service provider has suffered only six ransomware attacks since
2017.
In total, the NHS has suffered 209 successful ransomware attacks since 2014
but there was a dramatic improvement since 2017. The report was compiled
after surveying 245 NHS Trusts, with 184 responding and 50 refusing to hand
over the information requested.
What are the other findings?
The report from Comparitech also highlights other cybersecurity states of
the NHS, This includes:
No ransom has been reported to be paid by staff for ransomware attacks.
The estimated downtime stood at 206 days.
What did the NHS do to improve its security?
A review after the destructive WannaCry attack had revealed that none of the
80 NHS organizations had applied the Microsoft update patch advised by NHS
Digital’s CareCERT bulletin. This had left a majority of Microsoft Windows 7
devices infected.
Following the attack, the government had made 22 essential recommendations
to improve the cybersecurity of NHS Trusts. This included mandatory cyber
awareness training for staff and increased investments into security its
operations. Since the attack, Windows 7 too has largely gone out of support.
