Over half of all New Zealanders have experienced an online security attack in the last six months; as a result there’s been a sharp uptick in the adoption of cyber security actions. Despite this, almost one in five still think that cyber threats won’t affect them.
“New Zealanders are starting to own their online security,“ said CERT NZ Senior Threat and Incident Response Coordinator, Sam Leggett.
„The survey showed 95% of respondents know they need to take responsibility for themselves when it comes to cyber security. This is essential in a world where so much of what we do is digital, and the kinds of threats we face continue to grow and change.”
