GCSB posts advice on ICT supply chain risks
Advice comes in wake of high profile attacks on the Reserve Bank of NZ and the New Zealand Stock Exchange

The Government Communications Security Bureau’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has released guidance to help executives and cyber security professionals manage ICT supply chain security risks.
NCSC director Lisa Fong said a recent spate of high-profile cyber security incidents reinforced the importance of managing cyber security across the supply chain.
It took seven months for police to set up their first team for scanning the internet after the mosque attacks - but it was almost immediately in danger of being shut down.
An internal report released under the Official Information Act (OIA) said this was despite the team already proving its worth many times over in countering violent extremists.
The unit still does not have dedicated funding, despite a warning last July it risked being turned off .
This is revealed in 170 pages of OIA documents charting police intelligence shortcomings over the past decade, from pre-2011 extending through to mid-2020, and their attempts to overhaul the national system since 2018. These show police had no dedicated team before 2019 to scan the Internet for threats - what is called an OSINT team, for Open Source Intelligence .
The spy agency took two years to implement a major shift in how it targeted threats, but once it did, the rewards were almost immediate.
The Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) got 10 leads on right-wing extremists in the lead-up to the Christchurch mosque attacks.
This came within a few months of the SIS shifting from an overriding focus on Islamists and threats it knew about, to looking much harder at ones it did not, notably white supremacists.
Summaries of its strategies - newly released to RNZ under the OIA by the SIS - alongside the Royal Commission of Inquiry reports, show how that vital shift was a long time coming, held back by what the commission called scarce counterterrorism resources - though an internal review, the Arotake report, maintains the agency got its priorities and rebuilding right.
