Mark Logsdon, Chief Information Security Officer, yesterday said:
I want to start by saying a big congratulations to the winners and those who were highly commended in the CAN Awards 2022. The ceremony was a fantastic celebration of the hard work and dedication of cyber colleagues across the NHS and social care, from our cyber newcomer, Huw Jones, for his contributions during the pandemic, to our Leader of the Year, Paul Charnley, for his collaborative and strategic approach to managing cyber security for the Cheshire and Mersey Health and Care Partnership.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the next 12 months brings our way and celebrating again at the CAN Awards in 2023.
The Cyber Associates Network is a great peer led network where you can share best practice, keep up to date with the latest threats and vulnerabilities, whilst learning from each other. I would encourage anyone involved in cyber security in the health and care sector to join.
The is a group of cyber security expertise across public-sector health and care and are always on the lookout for new members.
