Securing Privileged Access & Non-Human Identities Across NHS Trusts

Written by Andrew Bushby | May 6, 2026 9:48:02 PM

As NHS organizations continue to accelerate their digital transformation, identity-related risks are becoming one of the most urgent cybersecurity challenges facing healthcare in 2026. From privileged user accounts to unmanaged service credentials and machine identities, attackers are increasingly targeting the access layer that underpins critical systems and patient services.

Join Delinea for an expert-led webinar, hosted by VP Sales Engineering Andrew Bushby and special guest Dan Connolly of DLC Tech Solutions. The webinar focuses on how NHS Trusts can reduce privileged access risk, secure non-human identities, and strengthen cyber resilience—without disrupting frontline care.

This session will explore the evolving threat landscape across UK healthcare, practical strategies for managing privileged access, and lessons learned from more than 50 NHS Trusts that are already improving their security posture with Delinea.

What we’ll cover:

  • The NHS threat landscape in 2026 and why identity-based attacks are increasing 
  • Risks created by non-human identities such as service accounts, APIs, bots, and machine credentials 
  • How modern PAM enables least privilege, zero standing access, and secure third-party access 
  • Proven strategies from 50+ NHS Trusts to reduce risk and improve audit readiness 

What you’ll learn:

  • Why privileged access security is critical to patient safety and service continuity 
  • How to identify hidden identity risks across clinical and IT environments 
  • Ways to secure secrets and machine identities across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure 
  • Practical quick wins that strengthen security without impacting frontline teams 

Get answers to these important questions:

  • How exposed are NHS Trusts to identity-led cyberattacks in 2026? 
  • What does effective PAM look like in a modern NHS environment? 
  • How can we secure suppliers and remote privileged access safely?
