professor carsten maple, an international expert on cyber security will be speaking on emerging threats at digital health’s new public cyber security conference, 7 december. in the first of our profiles of speakers at the event, maple speaks to vivienne raper about the cyber security threats facing public services, and suggests how the nhs could better have handled wannacry.
according to professor carsten maple, a key problem facing public sector organisations on cyber threats is how to respond and stay up-to-date when with the sheer proliferation of attack tools, both new and existing ones that are constantly being modified.
maple has worked as a cyber security researcher for about 15 years. today he’s the lead researcher at the university of warwick’s wmg cyber security centre, one of 14 academic centres of excellence in cyber security research at universities across the uk.
he’s worked with various public bodies on cybersecurity. among his other credits, he co-authored a 2010 report, supported by the serious organised crime agency, analysing data security breach cases across the uk.
maple said his talk will give pcs attendees an “accessible route” to thinking about the role of both physical assets, such as people and devices, and virtual assets in security breaches.
he said a big threat for the next five years is ransomware attacks on physical devices and internet of things, such as insulin pumps and pacemakers, which can be used to remotely monitor a patient. he gave the example of a ransomware attack on a da vinci surgical robot, which would stop patients being treated.
asked what public services, such as the nhs, should do to respond to emerging cyber threats, maple said they should design their processes to be resilient in case of attack, including building in redundancy.
as an example of poor fall-back planning, he mentioned recent newspaper reports of the development of navigation systems with roots in second world war radio technology. these are designed to function after a cyber attack on ship gps.
maple said he became motivated to work on cyber security during his first research project after his phd. he was analysing structures, such as bridges and buildings, across distributed systems, and realised the importance of keeping these data secure.
when he started his academic career, he joined bcs, the chartered institute for it, which he said: “was the most natural for what i did.” today he is a bcs fellow and has sat on their security community of expertise.
