CERT NZ Cybersecurity Alerts: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Stay informed about digital threats with real-time cybersecurity alerts and advice for New Zealand businesses.

This scheme provides real-time alerts and practical advice regarding digital threats to help keep your business safe from cyber attacks.

Who it's for

This service is available to all businesses operating in New Zealand. Whether you are a small startup or a large organization, the information provided is intended to support the security posture of any business entity within the country.

What you get

Subscribers receive real-time alerts and specific advice regarding current cybersecurity threats. These notifications are designed to give you an early warning about emerging digital risks, allowing you to take steps to protect your company's data and infrastructure before a threat can cause significant damage. By staying connected to these updates, you gain access to expert guidance on how to identify and mitigate various types of cyber risks.

What it costs you

This is a free subscription. There are no fees required to sign up for the alerts or to receive the ongoing security advice provided by the agency.

The catch to know

The most significant challenge is not the cost or the signup process, but rather the tendency for businesses to overlook the information. Many organizations wait until a significant security breach has already occurred before they begin paying close attention to these warnings. To get the most value from the scheme, these alerts must be integrated into your regular business monitoring.
