Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) is defined as those systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital to New Zealand that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on the security of the nation, the economy, public health and safety, or any combination of those matters.
CCIP is focused on protecting New Zealand's CNI from cyber based threats. The Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management is focused on improving New Zealand's resilience to hazards and disasters, which includes increasing the protection from physical threats to New Zealand's CNI.
While there is some overlap between the functions of CCIP and The Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management, this overlap ensures that there are no gaps.
