Defend as One: Delivering Scalable Cyber Resilience Across NHS ICSs with Microsoft Sentinel

As cyber threats continue to evolve, NHS organisations are looking for more effective ways to strengthen resilience, share intelligence and make the best use of limited security resources.

In this session, Elliott Morgan and Kamal Gayashan will explore how organisations can move from isolated security operations to a more collaborative, ICS-wide approach using Microsoft Sentinel. Drawing on a real NHS deployment, they'll share lessons learned from a phased implementation that delivered early value while creating a foundation for ongoing improvement.

You'll gain practical insight into how organisations are aligning with initiatives such as Sentinel Clustering and Defend as One, helping to improve visibility, strengthen threat detection and reduce the operational burden on security teams across the wider health system.

Key takeaways

• Understand the benefits of a more connected approach to cyber security across an ICS
• Learn how a phased Microsoft Sentinel deployment can deliver value quickly
• Explore practical approaches to building long-term security maturity
• See how Sentinel Clustering and Defend as One support collaboration and resilience
• Identify opportunities to improve security outcomes while reducing operational effort

Whether you're responsible for cyber security, digital transformation or operational resilience, this session will provide practical guidance for building a stronger, more resilient security operation across your organisation and the wider NHS.
