AXREM publishes cyber security strategy and cyber attack procedure
AXREM has launched its Cyber Security Information Sharing and Incident Response Strategy alongside a new Cyber Attack Procedure, reinforcing the association’s commitment to protecting the UK’s diagnostic imaging, radiotherapy and healthcare IT ecosystem from an escalating cyber threat landscape. These coordinated documents set out a framework for intelligence sharing, incident escalation and cross-sector collaboration, ensuring that suppliers, NHS partners and national bodies can act rapidly and consistently during incidents.
The security strategy outlines how AXREM and its members will consolidate and share cyber-related intelligence, strengthen links with NHS England’s Cyber Security Operations Centre, the National Cyber Security Centre, the Department of Health and Social Care, and the Joint Cyber Unit, and implement structured escalation aligned with national NHS guidance. The strategy emphasises rapid and accurate information sharing, proactive security practices, structured escalation levels and national alignment through adoption of the NHS England Health & Care System Cyber Security Incident Guidance (Grab Bag) v1.2.
The AXREM Cyber Attack Procedure establishes a single, safe forum for reporting live incidents, sharing intelligence and ensuring members receive coordinated guidance during unfolding events.
