The WannaCry attack back in 2017 <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/747464\/securing-cyber-resilience-in-health-and-care-september-2018-update.pdf\">cost the NHS \u00a392m<\/a> (PDF). The figure includes \u00a319m of lost output (based on 1 per cent of NHS care being disrupted) and an eye-watering estimate of \u00a373m of IT cost in the immediate aftermath to actually fix stuff that got broken.<\/p>\n<p>It must come as great comfort to the 19,000 patients that had their appointments cancelled to know that cash was being flung at consultants to hunt down backups and restore the things.<\/p>\n<p>As is well-documented, the attack made the NHS finally bite the bullet and upgrade its antiquated IT systems. A three-year, \u00a3150m deal was signed with Microsoft to update systems to Windows 10 (although hopefully <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/10\/11\/microsoft_windows_10_october_update_fix_still_stumbling\/\">not too up to date<\/a>) and the report states that Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) has now been deployed to more than 130 organisations. It has <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/01\/24\/nhs_deploys_microsoft_threat_detection_service_on_30k_devices\/\">taken a while<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A &#8220;large NHS mental health trust&#8221; is reportedly &#8220;very impressed&#8221; with ATP, although with staff gleefully downloading malware and opening phishing emails, according to the report, it sounds as though some training would not go amiss either.<\/p>\n<p>IBM has also been the recipient of NHS Digital&#8217;s largesse, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.delta-esourcing.com\/tenders\/UK-UK-Leeds:-IT-services:-consulting%2C-software-development%2C-Internet-and-support.\/9M94954G5K\">trousering \u00a330m<\/a> in a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/digital.nhs.uk\/services\/data-security-centre\/data-security-centre-latest-news\/cyber-security-boost-to-the-nhs-as-nhs-digital-joins-forces-with-ibm\">three-year strategic partnership<\/a> to expand NHS Digital&#8217;s Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC)<\/p>\n<p>However, while chucking money at Microsoft and IBM is undoubtedly a super use of taxpayer funds, the report steps back from promising that the NHS will reach the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberessentials.ncsc.gov.uk\/about.html\">Cyber Essentials Plus<\/a> standard in June 2021, as recommended in February&#8217;s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.england.nhs.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/lessons-learned-review-wannacry-ransomware-cyber-attack-cio-review.pdf\">lessons-learned report<\/a> (PDF). While there are plenty of reassuring promises that trusts and foundation trusts will be providing their plans by 2019 for achieving the standard, only 10 sites will &#8220;aim&#8221; to hit the standard next March. The next progress report will make for interesting reading, as the clock ticks towards the June 2021 deadline.<\/p>\n<p>The problem, reported in the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hsj.co.uk\/technology-and-innovation\/exclusive-tighter-cyber-security-deemed-not-value-for-money\/7023505.article\">Health Service Journal<\/a> (HSJ) last week, is that meeting the standard would cost the NHS between \u00a3800m and \u00a31bn, and NHS Digital believes this &#8220;would not be value for money&#8221; \u2013 according to documents presented to a cybersecurity committee meeting released under Freedom of Information laws.<\/p>\n<p>This will also come as great comfort to those inconvenienced by the WannaCry attack, particularly as the NHS continues to come under sustained attack by miscreants (as, to be fair, do all public organisations).<\/p>\n<p>Funding-wise, other than the \u00a3150m due to be pocketed by Microsoft, \u00a321m was announced in October 2017 to shore up local IT infrastructure and another \u00a325m was announced in February this year. An additional \u00a315m has been scraped from the bottom of the underspends barrel, bringing the total investment in securing local NHS IT systems during 2017\/2018 to \u00a361m. By 2021, more than \u00a3250m is expected to be spent on top of the Windows cash. Quite a bit below the \u00a3800m figure quoted by the HSJ.<\/p>\n<p>And the good news?
