The NCSC has developed a cyber security framework that can help to guide organisations risk assessment and cyber resilience plans.<br \/>\nThe framework is built around five key focus areas: Guide and Govern, Identify and Understand, Prevent and Protect, Detect and Contain, and Respond and Recover. It provides questions in each of these areas for organisations to consider when setting their cyber security priorities.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Above, Andrew Clark, GCSB\u2019s Director-General, New Zealand \/ image credited to the GCSB<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GCSB\u2019s Director-General, Andrew Clark, says the investigation and response confirmed that parts of the PCO network and the Parliamentary Service network had been compromised by a malicious cyber actor In August 2021, the Government Communications Security Bureau\u2019s (GCSB) National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) became aware of malicious cyber activity affecting the Parliamentary Council Office &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/?p=16233\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> \u00abNCSC\u2019s (New Zealand) response to the Parliamentary Council Office and Parliamentary Service cyber incident\u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16234,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[24],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16233"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16233"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16235,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16233\/revisions\/16235"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/telecomkh.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
