7. We recognise the gap between supply and demand for cyber security capacity building
internationally. The United Kingdom, through the establishment of a new Global Cyber
Security Capacity Building Centre (GCSCBC) is looking at how to make better use of the
skills and resources internationally to address this issue.
8. The United Kingdom and New Zealand will work closely together to ensure these and
other efforts can attain full global reach, including how to best support the work of the
ASEAN Regional Forum partners and also the Pacific Island Forum’s regional security
committee.
Economic Benefit and Business/Government Partnerships
9. Security and resilience of our networks and promoting a safe digital environment
requires our governments to build and maintain a close working relationship with the
private sector that manufactures, owns or operates the majority of infrastructure on
which the global internet relies. We will look at opportunities for increased New Zealand
– United Kingdom exchange on our respective business outreach programmes and
through that improve links between our key industry partners.
10. We also need to work closely with the business community generally, to build
awareness and to improve companies’ ability to take responsibility for protecting their
intellectual property. Creating a cyber-aware investment environment is essential if we
are to create the conditions for business success, and help our companies respond to the
challenge of globalisation.
11. We will collaborate on cyber-related research and development activities, both within
government and with the private sector in both countries.
12. We will explore the potential for synergies arising from our respective cyber
investment programmes. Where appropriate, we will work jointly to deploy new
capabilities and will share our thinking on the development of new approaches to
government partnerships with the private sector.
Mutual Defence
13. We will continue to share situational awareness information and intelligence and
security data from a wide range of sources to maximise the ability of both nations to
detect and respond to foreign cyber intrusions on networks of national importance.
14. We will work closely together, and with our key allies to coordinate responses to
incidents affecting our government and private sector networks.
