Ethical hackers to boost NHS cyber-defences The NHS is spending £20m to set up a security operations centre that will oversee the health service's digital defences.
It will employ "ethical hackers" to look for weaknesses in health computer networks, not just react to breaches.
Such hackers use the same tactics seen in cyber-attacks to help organisations spot weak points.
In May, one-third of UK health trusts were hit by the WannaCry worm, which demanded cash to unlock infected PCs. BBC News
