In the race to modernise public healthcare, Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust (PAHT) is stepping forward as a digital frontrunner. With a vision to become one of the most digitally advanced public healthcare trusts in the UK, PAHT is embracing a major infrastructure transformation—backed by powerful technology partnerships. At the centre of its cybersecurity and operational efficiency strategy is Armis, the leading asset intelligence and security platform.
As part of its digitisation efforts, the Trust needed a way to securely manage more than 6,500 connected devices, many of which were unmanaged or medically regulated. Legacy IT tools lacked the visibility required to safeguard such a diverse and complex ecosystem.
By partnering with Armis, PAHT achieved:
- Agentless visibility across all devices, from clinical equipment to IT endpoints
- Real-time threat detection and risk scoring based on behavioural anomalies
- Improved device lifecycle management, reducing downtime and manual oversight
- Accelerated compliance with NHS cybersecurity frameworks and DSPT
- A non-intrusive deployment model, ideal for healthcare environments
What makes this transformation especially powerful is its balance between innovation and risk reduction. PAHT’s Digital Director, Michael Meredith, highlighted that Armis has helped them “identify and mitigate risk without impacting frontline services,” adding clarity and confidence to an ambitious transformation roadmap.
This partnership underscores how cybersecurity isn’t a barrier to healthcare innovation—it’s the enabler. Armis empowers the Trust to modernise at scale while protecting the critical systems and patient data that underpin care delivery.
