Cybersecurity is an essential element to running a business in New Zealand's increasingly digitalized world. Cybersecurity includes measures taken to secure networks, devices, and data from cyber threats, such as computer viruses, malware, phishing, hacker attacks, and others.
New Zealand residents and businesses are becoming more aware of the need for strong cyber security measures and the government is taking steps to ensure they are doing everything they can to protect their citizens online. The New Zealand government has implemented several initiatives to address cybersecurity issues, including the Cybersecurity Agency of New Zealand, the National Cyber Security Centre, and the New Zealand Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT). These entities are responsible for cyber incident response, threat intelligence analysis, and developing cyber policy.
The Cybersecurity Agency of New Zealand is responsible for providing technical advice and assistance to public and private sector partners on incident management and security posture. It is also responsible for developing and implementing the country's policies and standards to protect the nation from modern cyber threats.
The National Cyber Security Centre provides strategic guidance to the government on information security strategy and cyber risk management. The center also assists public and private sector partners with managing the impact of cyber threats and mitigating the damage caused by successful cyber threats.
The CERT is the national point of contact for computer security threats, incidents, alerts, and advice. CERT is responsible for coordinating the security response to cyber incidents, conducting investigations, and providing technical assistance and advice.
New Zealand also runs several annual conferences and events dedicated to cybersecurity and IT security. Examples of these include the annual Cybersecurity Summit NZ, which focuses on the security of public and private organizations, and the NZSEC security conference, which takes place each year and covers topics such as security architectures and policy, emerging threats, and security solutions.
In addition to these events, New Zealand also offers several educational opportunities to learn the latest security tools and technologies. This includes workshops and seminars by Microsoft, Cisco, HP, and other leading security providers, which offer hands-on experience and training in cybersecurity for both government and private sector employees.

The theme for GOVIS 2024 is Trust to Innovate. In 2024, the public service will face increasingly complex and demanding challenges, with limited resources to meet them. The only way forward is to innovate more, and we need to be trusted to do this and take some risks. At the same time, we need to remember the serious consequences of innovating faster than the speed of trust. Innovation should be done with our customers and partners and not with them - so as we innovate, we also need to build trust. For example, AI tools have recently become much more capable and accessible… but how should (and shouldn’t) we harness this technology? Data is richer and more abundant… but are we collecting and using it transparently and effectively? Digital transformation projects of various sizes are underway… but are we putting customers at the center?
