An unchartered path

We are working away in the background, as many of you can probably imagine, there are a huge rang of logistical challenges in our path. Healthcare (and other sensitive/critical services) is not somewhere where we can just rock up and start jumping on systems and networks, even just organisationally and from a comms point of view the challenges aren’t small. We want to make sure that as a group we can help no matter where we are.

A Force for Good

To this end we are formulating ideas for initiatives whereby we can support our healthcare services from an internet perspective.

Our thinking in this space is along these lines:

• Phishing Reporting
• Malware Analysis
• OSINT/Threat Intelligence
• Malicious Website Takedowns
• COVID19 ‘Opportunity Abuse’
• Social Media Amplification
• Creation of helpful content around good cyber security guidance
• Sharing of useful resources and trusted services

We are taking a cautious approach with how we enable this group, we are doing a huge amount of work talking with partners, volunteers and technical solution providers, but we also MUST ensure that the work we do is conducted inline with our mission to HELP (not hinder)! We’ve put together a code of conduct to help support this!

If anyone has any suggestions for other ways we can support, please get in touch with the team on the LinkedIn group.
