'We are delighted to be partnering with Mastek to deliver training assured by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). With the growing integration of healthcare services, our tailored approach and experience encourages Boards and executives to take accountability for cyber and information risk, alongside clinical and financial risk, to deliver quality patient care,' said Rekha Babber, MD Cyber Academy, Templar Executives.
The training will focus on equipping these critical leaders with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively manage cyber risks, ensure compliance with legislation, and foster a culture of cyber resilience within their organisations.
'We are happy to expand our support into NHS England in building stronger cybersecurity leadership across the NHS. As healthcare systems continue to become more digital, effective cyber governance at the Board level is essential to safeguarding patient data and ensuring the resilience of critical services,' said Abhishek Singh, President of UKI & Europe at Mastek.
The training includes two core components: SIRO Training, which targets SIROs and Deputy SIROs to help them manage cyber risks more effectively; and Board Training, which is designed to improve executive boards' understanding of cybersecurity governance, leadership responsibilities, and regulatory compliance.
The partnership with NHS England highlights the company's focus on enabling secure healthcare services in an increasingly digital environment, Mastek said.

Markets trade lower in early deals on profit-taking in blue-chip stocks, foreign fund outflows
Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty declined in early trade on Thursday (July 24, 2025) amid profit-taking in blue-chip stocks and continuous foreign fund outflows. Despite a positive start, the 30-share BSE Sensex failed to carry forward the momentum and fell later in the trade. The benchmark declined 130.92 points to 82,595.72 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty dipped 23 points to 25,196.90. From the Sensex firms, Trent, Kotak Mahindra Bank, UltraTech Cement, Bajaj Finance, Tech Mahindra, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys and Axis Bank were among the biggest laggards. However, Tata Motors, Eternal, Sun Pharma and Tata Steel were among the gainers. Infosys Ltd on Wednesday (July 23, 2025) reported an 8.7% rise in June quarter net profit and narrowed its full-year revenue forecast after stronger-than-expected earnings growth. In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Japan's Nikkei 225 index, Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng were trading in positive territory. The U.S. markets ended higher on Wednesday (July 23, 2025). India and the U.K. will sign a free trade agreement on Thursday (July 24, 2025) in London that will allow export of labour-intensive products such as leather, footwear and clothing at concessional rates, while making imports of whisky and cars from Britain cheaper. The pact also helps double trade between the two economies to ₹120 billion by 2030. "U.S. striking trade deals with many countries is slowly removing concerns surrounding tariff wars. In the mother market U.S., good corporate earnings are providing the fundamental support to the market. Good Q1 numbers from Infosys can provide support to the weak IT index," VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹4,209.11 crore on Wednesday (July 23, 2025), according to exchange data. However, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bought stocks worth ₹4,358.52 crore in the previous trade. Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.31% to ₹68.72 a barrel. On Wednesday (July 23, 2025), the Sensex jumped 539.83 points or 0.66% to settle at 82,726.64. The Nifty gained 159 points or 0.63% to settle at 25,219.90.
