The New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (SIS) has released its first unclassified threat assessment, highlighting the challenges of increased strategic competition, declining social trust, and rapid technological change. The assessment states that the threat of violent extremism remains “low” but acknowledges the persistence of espionage and spying activities, including foreign intelligence agencies targeting the government, corporations, research institutions, and state contractors.

The assessment identifies Russia, Iran, and China as offenders engaging in deceptive, corruptive, or coercive attempts to exert political or social influence.
