The Digital Care Hub are strongly encouraging all social care providers to register with a new free early warnings system for cyber threats.
They say:
"The Early Warning system is a free service from the NCSC. It looks out for signs that someone might be trying to access or attack your network. It does this by collecting trusted data from a wide range of sources, including internet service providers, threat intelligence feeds, and government partners.
If the system spots suspicious activity linked to your internet connection – such as malware infections, signs your systems have been compromised, or attempts to access your network from known malicious sources – you’ll get an alert by email.
It won’t stop the attack for you, but it gives you a heads-up so you can act fast."
