BCS proposes IT priorities for new Government BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, has called for a long term digital transformation of health and social care as one of the priorities for the new Government. It has published a set of priorities and recommendations that also includes strengthening policy on cyber security, designing sustainable technology to achieve the net zero ambitions, and promoting more digital apprenticeships. The organisation has also highlighted the need for action on promoting professionalism in the IT industry, building digital literacy in education and closing the gender gap in IT. The BCS manifesto for the incoming administration says a long term plan for digital transformation in health and care is essential, as technology can streamline administrative processes and improve diagnoses. But this requires investment in people, processes and technology that require a proper plan. https://lnkd.in/edw6ap6a #cybernews #cybersecurity #bcs #policy

Yes, you read that right: Every. Day. What's even more alarming? Nearly a quarter of these were inadvertently enabled by people, with attackers using methods like phishing (where they trick you into clicking malicious links) and exploiting remote services to sneak into systems. Attackers are getting smarter, using everyday tools on your computer to carry out what's known as 'living-off-the-land' attacks. They manipulate accounts and software vulnerabilities, and even trick employees into giving them access. The faster these incidents are reported, the quicker they can be stopped. On average, severe issues were reported in about 36 minutes – that's quick, but every second counts. Despite a drop in high-severity incidents, the risk hasn't decreased. Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and damaging. It's crucial to not just have cyber security protection but to make sure it’s managed by experienced professionals. Automated tools are great, but I believe human expertise is irreplaceable for spotting and stopping the smartest attacks. As always, our advice is to 1) make sure everyone on your team knows the basics of cyber security, 2) have experts monitor your systems (the LCS Team can help with this), and 3) to keep your software up to date to avoid vulnerabilities.
