COVID-19

The NCSC has established this page in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to provide
New Zealand organisations with helpful information security resources. We're aware of malicious cyber activity seeking to exploit public concern around COVID-19, and it’s important that organisations and their staff adopt robust cyber security measures.

352 cyber security incidents were recorded by the NCSC in the 12 months to 30 June 2020.

The NCSC estimates it prevented $70.5 million worth of harm to New Zealand’s nationally significant organisations in the 2019-20 financial year.

The NCSC determined that in the 2019-20 financial year, 30% of the total recorded incidents involved indicators that had been linked to state-sponsored computer network exploitation groups.

If New Zealand has secrets worth stealing, then they're worth protecting.

Threats to New Zealand's interests do not respect national boundaries.
