There are fantastic benefits to embracing technology and working securely online in health and social care. Technology allows greater and faster information sharing, so we can improve the quality of care and support which we provide e.g. personalised care planning, transfers of care, viewing medications, etc. Individuals can fully participate and have better access to, and input into, their records. However, as we use technology more, we must continue to do all we can to keep data safe and secure, ensuring that disruption to care and support at best is avoided or that any disruption is minimised.  

Therefor Cyber security is the safeguards taken to avoid or reduce any disruption from an attack on data, computers or mobile devices. Cyber security covers not only safeguarding confidentiality and privacy, but also the availability and integrity of data, both of which are vital for the quality and safety of care.
