NHS Scotland Cyber Centre of Excellence

The NHS Scotland Cyber Centre of Excellence is located within Abertay cyberQuarter. The organisation’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) acts as a shared Cyber Threat Monitoring and Response Service. It is operated by NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) on behalf of the 22 health boards that constitute NHS Scotland and works in full collaboration with Boards to provide situational awareness of bad traffic on their networks, actionable threat intelligence from multiple sources and incident analysis and support. It also serves as a focal point of Cyber Intelligence sharing with other Scottish, UK and international Government departments and agencies. An important aspect of their work is changing the cybersecurity and awareness culture of the NHS Scotland workforce, enabling them to work safely from multiple locations and adopt national best practice.
