NZTech Inform: Creating a safer Aotearoa

Kia ora,

A core pillar of NZTech’s work is creating a safer Aotearoa New Zealand. This drives our efforts across vital areas including cyber security, a safer internet and safer online connected devices.

🔗 What is the real-world impact?

At our upcoming annual National Cyber Security Summit I’m looking forward to hearing from Andrew Hampton, Director General, New Zealand Security Intelligence Service and Andrew Clark, Director General and Chief Executive, Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB). They will share insights into foreign interference and espionage, highlighting their real-world impact on New Zealand businesses. Join us 24-25 March in Wellington.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Andrew Cushen, who joins us as Executive Director for The Code. Andrew’s experience in collaborating with industry, government and communities will be instrumental in advancing The Code’s commitment to online safety and harm reduction.

This week we’re also supporting Safer Internet Day with practical tips and tools for everyone. Read more.
