The goldmine of personal and clinical data kept on hospitals networks makes healthcare organisations prime targets for cyber criminals. With a typical hospital’s network counting their connected IT and medical devices in thousands, and with their number and complexity constantly growing, it’s very likely that, despite IT teams’ best efforts, they may have limited or outdated visibility into their network assets.
This results in a higher risk of software and systems being unpatched and misconfigured. A combination of complexities of healthcare networks and a rapidly changing cyber threat landscape create a massive challenge for IT teams in the NHS and other health and social care organisations tasked with patient safety.
Adopting a solid approach to continuous risk assessment and having a comprehensive vulnerability management (VM) solution in place is critical for organisations responsible for better clinical outcomes and patient safety.
Having worked in many trusts helping to improve and protect IT estates we have gained deep insight into the challenges faced by IT teams in the NHS. It has taught us what tools and support really add value and make a difference to our clients. Born out of this experience is Cloud21’s end-to-end vulnerability management solution which is based on technology and services.
An All-in-One Vulnerability Management, Detection, and Response (VMDR) workflow for the NHS
The all in one solution for NHS compliance and vulnerability management that delivers a single source of truth.
Traditional endpoint solutions don’t interface well with each other, creating integration headaches, false positives, and delays. Ultimately, devices are left unidentified, critical assets are misclassified, vulnerabilities are poorly prioritised, and patches don’t get fully applied.
Working with our NHS clients, our vulnerability management services team could see a need for an uncomplicated, trustworthy solution, that brings none of the hindrances of the traditional solutions, but one that also serves the needs of the NHS.
Qualys VMDR is a cloud solution for vulnerability management, detection, and response prioritisation, and provides evidence for elements of DSPT. It has been built and refined over more than two decades to achieve 6-Sigma scanning accuracy and leverages Qualys Cloud Agents and sensors to collect data from different digital environments.
To provide a complete workflow for the NHS, Cloud21 has developed a module that helps trusts answer the question, ‘what is vulnerable and what is subject to NHS cyber alerts on my estate?’ Bespoke interactive dashboards support the management and reporting of both historical alerts and newly issued critical and high severity alerts. These alerts are added to the Cloud21 knowledge base within four hours of the notification by NHS Digital.

It can be quite unnerving when installing a vulnerability management solution because it is very likely it will highlight more vulnerabilities than expected. In the NHS when there’s a resource imbalance in IT, it’s not always feasible for small teams to patch everything made visible to them. The detection and visibility part is only one half of the job.
We have developed a Vulnerability Management Suite of services in response to clients finding themselves in this position so they can feel completely assured and we can reduce the burden on their team.
Our services are designed with the complexity of healthcare IT estates in mind, from exposing network vulnerabilities to helping ensure network availability and uptime, hardening your systems against cyber-threats through threat prioritisation and timely patching.
