State cybersecurity body and HSE take part in Europe-wide simulated attack 

The National Cyber Security Centre, HSE, hospitals, and pharmacy companies joined a  simulation organised by the European Cyber Security Agency.

The State’s cybersecurity body and the HSE took part in a European-wide simulated attack on health services this week — just over a year on from the start of the devastating real-life attack on HSE systems.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), together with the HSE and a number of hospitals and pharmacy companies, joined a large-scale simulation organised by the European Cyber Security Agency (ENISA).
