The UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has outlined an ongoing cyber resilience plan for the National Health Service (NHS), with the effort aimed at reducing risk across healthcare operations. The program includes Active Cyber Defence (ACD) 2.0, software supply-chain security, vulnerability disclosure, threat intelligence, and visibility tooling. It matters because the initiative is designed to strengthen defenses across a sector-wide NHS constituency that has faced repeated major ransomware disruption.
