• Cloud/platform - The cloud based platforms such as Azure and AWS that Accurx maintains to host our products and cloud based operational processes.

• Enterprise/corporate - The operational infrastructure that Accurx operates on to facilitate our day to day activities such as our local corporate network, our identity/SSO solution, device management, workstations and beyond.

• Vulnerability Management
• Incident Detection, Readiness, and Response
• Security Hardening and Configuration
• Identity Management
• The Security Engineering Liaison Programme
• People Awareness

What the team say ... 📢

“Making sure patient and clinician data is secure while our team works to make significant improvements to the NHS is incredibly fulfilling. Building out vulnerability management tooling has been an exciting project to work on as it meant I got to work directly with Devops and Product Engineers”.

- Paul Bandha, Security Engineer
