What’s In Store for 2024
Focusing on cybersecurity is paramount for Aotearoa government agencies as the threat landscape becomes increasingly sophisticated. With the rise of cyber-attacks targeting public sectors globally, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of government data and networks is critical. Ransomware, phishing, and state-sponsored attacks pose significant risks to critical infrastructure, economic stability, and public trust.
With a focus on a multi-layered approach to protect data and networks, enhancing threat detection and response capabilities is essential. The implementation of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning is paramount to uplifting security. Strengthening public-private partnerships and interagency coordination is another important factor for improving cyber maturity. Collaboration with industry experts and academia allows for the sharing of best practices and the development of innovative solutions tailored to New Zealand’s unique context
Robust incident response protocols and regular security assessments will aid agencies to continuously strengthen security. Join Public Sector Network’s Aotearoa Cyber Security Showcase to hear how leaders are prioritising cybersecurity. Learn how government agencies aim to safeguard their digital infrastructure, protect sensitive information, and maintain the trust and confidence of the public.
