The Future of Digital Health Cybersecurity: A Key Focus at HETT in 2025

Strengthening Cybersecurity in Healthcare for 2025 and Beyond 

As healthcare continues its digital transformation, cybersecurity in the NHS and across the healthcare sector has never been more critical. With increasing cyber threats targeting hospitals, patient records, and essential digital infrastructure, robust cybersecurity strategies are essential to ensure patient safety, data integrity, and operational resilience. To support the digitally forward future, we must have the security in place.  

The Cybersecurity Landscape in Healthcare  

The past year has seen a surge in cyberattacks on healthcare systems globally, emphasising the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity frameworks. Ransomware, phishing attacks, and data breaches pose a significant risk to patient records and critical systems. As cybercriminals become more sophisticated, healthcare organisations and systems must proactively evolve their cyber defence strategies to mitigate threats. 

Cybersecurity Takes Centre Stage at HETT 

Cybersecurity will be a key focus at HETT in 2025, with dedicated discussions on protecting digital health systems, ensuring compliance with evolving regulations, and preparing for future cyber threats. The newly formed Cyber Security Working Group, made up of leading experts across the field, will drive impactful conversations and create a dynamic platform for knowledge sharing throughout the HETT event this year.

Key Topics to Be Explored at HETT North 2025 

HETT North 2025 will feature a dedicated cybersecurity panel session, bringing together industry leaders to discuss the future of healthcare cybersecurity and share actionable insights for improving security posture across the NHS and healthcare organisations. We will discuss: 

Scalability and Adaptability in Cybersecurity Infrastructure 

As healthcare technology rapidly evolves, cybersecurity measures must scale to support digital advancements. At HETT North we will address how to future-proof cybersecurity frameworks while maintaining operational efficiency. 

Evolving Cybersecurity Regulations and Compliance 

With new and emerging threats, regulatory frameworks must adapt to ensure continued compliance and security within the NHS and wider healthcare ecosystem. The discussion will focus on best practices for keeping pace with regulatory changes and mitigating cyber risks. 

Covering the Basics While Driving Continuous Improvement

Cybersecurity is not just about implementing new technologies but also ensuring that fundamental security protocols are robust and continuously improved. The session will explore ways to strengthen foundational security measures while adopting innovative solutions for long-term resilience.
