"We are on the record for calling out malicious cyber activity, and we urge all states to abide by the framework of responsible state behaviour online," Little added. Little said, "Our cyber security agencies regularly share information relating to cyber threat activity. The GCSB's National Cyber Security Centre has the specific role of protecting New Zealand organisations of national significance from advanced, persistent cyber security threats."
