Cybersecurity plays a critical role in your business’s governance and risk assessment. Fortunately, a new government website offers training and resources to help you enhance your security measures.

Your IT systems and software are the backbone of your business, and with so many parts of your operations now in the digital domain, it’s vital to protect your cybersecurity.

Malicious hackers will always be looking for an opportunity to access your systems or steal your sensitive client information. Therefore, it’s crucial to take  every possible measure to boost your security.

New cybersecurity resources from the New Zealand government
