Over to you, Emma.

It's great to be here in a room filled with people who all contribute to making New Zealand a cyber resilient nation.

And whether you work in a SOC, architect systems, you run staff awareness, you develop cyber policy, you investigate incidents, or you help your organisation to make good decisions, it all adds up and it all matters.

Building a resilient cyber nation and protecting our businesses and citizens from the impacts of cyber harm is not an easy task.

but it's more important than ever in today's fraught and highly volatile geopolitical landscape.

It's no longer about being prepared for a cyber incident, but being agile and being able to adapt as quickly as we can to whatever the world may throw at us on a given day.

Our approach to the NCSC is shaped by a number of factors, including legislation, policy settings, government direction, intelligence, national interest, and technology trends.
