Case Study: NHS Digital achieves stronger HSCN security with Computacenter and Cisco

NHS Digital reduces patient-care disruption with Computacenter

The customer, NHS Digital, faced the challenge of ensuring the security of its new Health and Social Care Network (HSCN), a vital platform for sharing patient data. Computacenter, together with Cisco, was engaged to provide security analysts with full visibility of traffic patterns and potential threats across this critical network.

Computacenter led the project to design and build an analytics solution based on Cisco Stealthwatch. This solution identifies malicious behavior and sends information to a centralized security system. The outcome safeguarded business continuity for caregivers, prevented patient delays, and enabled healthcare professionals to securely share vital data, with Computacenter successfully meeting the tight project deadline.
