Resilient and responsive New Zealand This priority area is about ensuring that New Zealand can resist cyber threats and that we have the tools and know-how to protect ourselves. The focus of this area is expanding from building resilience in significant infrastructure to being able to respond to incidents across the system. That wider system focus will include: • vigorously protecting New Zealand’s most important information infrastructures • supporting businesses, NGOs, community organisations, and individuals to be protected and resilient to major cyber incidents • using cyber tools and partnerships to further New Zealand’s interests, including national security and law enforcement activities • supporting critical national infrastructure organisations and ensuring those organisations take responsibility for the security of their systems • improving the information security capabilities and resilience of the public sector.
