NHS turns to ethical hackers to defend it from malicious attacks

This article talks about the following: The growing threat of cyber-attacks has prompted the UK National Health Service to invest £20m on cyber security. In order to check the safety of its systems, the institute will use ethical hacking procedures to check the strength and weakness of its systems.

It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future. Will the investment offset any new threats or able to predict new black hat techniques used by hackers? It is interesting to see these investments, provided that the system has AI capabilities to detect future threats and that it can warn the authorities at the right time.
