What the notice says

UHB intends to engage a service provider for implementing and deploying a cost-effective market leading Network Detection & Response Solution across its infrastructure. Delivers an initiative-taking approach to cyber resilience in a single cybersecurity platform, providing pre-emptive visibility into security posture, real-time detection, and recommended response to known and unknown threats traversing the Trust network infrastructure. The solution will allow the Cyber Security Team and Network Teams to respond quickly. With such a disparate network infrastructure we need the solution to monitor and understand network activity to provide visibility and strengthen threat detection. This solution will support UHB cybersecurity resilience, aligned with NHS Digital and NCSC guidance.
