The establishment of a national Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) announced by the Government as part of Budget 16 is a ‘major development’ for New Zealand, according to Deloitte.
It was revealed last week $22.2 million of the budget will be allocated to help businesses understand and respond to cyber threats.
Deloitte partner and national cybersecurity leader Anu Nayar says cybersecurity should be seen as a platform for business growth and innovation in New Zealand.
He says the funding to establish the CERT is a major development for New Zealand because it delivers a strong message by government on the importance of cyber resilience for our country.
“We welcome this commitment as it provides the much needed investment to build a platform for collaboration, intelligence sharing and effective response to the cyber-attacks that affect our nation – all of which are crucial to helping Kiwis and our businesses be secure, vigilant and resilient,” says Nayar.
