Validate your critical systems resilience continuously
New Zealand's critical infrastructure operators — energy, telecommunications, transport, and water — face nation-state targeting and ransomware campaigns against essential services. The August 2020 DDoS attacks disrupted NZX trading across four consecutive days. NodeZero provides the continuous security validation that critical infrastructure demands.
Your specific challenges
Nation-state targeting
The NCSC has identified suspected foreign state activity targeting government agencies, health, education and IT managed service providers, and joined international partners warning that pro-Russian hacktivist groups target water, energy and food organisations globally.
Essential service continuity
The national electricity grid and major telcos carry the country's power and connectivity. Service disruption affects millions. Security testing must be production-safe.
Regulatory fragmentation
Multiple overlapping frameworks — NZISM, PSR, TICSA, sector-specific requirements — without the centralised audit resources of larger economies.
Built for your situation
Production-safe continuous testing
NodeZero tests your IT network without disrupting critical services. Autonomous, agentless testing that runs alongside operational systems. It validates the IT/OT boundary; it does not exploit inside OT.
Multi-framework evidence
One testing programme producing evidence for NZISM (coverage kit available), PSR and sector obligations.
Incident detection validation
Test whether your SIEM and detection systems actually trigger when NodeZero runs real attack patterns — and validate your own detection-time targets.
