Short description:
Many governments have established public‐private partnerships to manage critical infrastructure protection, one element of which is telecommunications. However, in New Zealand these collaborative efforts have had limited success and the rapid increase in use of the Internet to support both society and commerce has led to the need for a more specific focus in this area. While regulation is an effective means of forcing action by industry, it can lead to significant unintended consequences and undesirable behaviours. This article explores how governments can have confidence in the safety and protection of their critical national infrastructures through a model of assured public‐private partnership that is based on an incentivised adoption approach to drive optimal outcomes within the New Zealand context.
