New Zealand's Security Intelligence Service is reiterating the public's role in the fight against threats. 

The organisation is keeping our threat level at low, meaning attacks are realistically possible.  

SIS Director-General Andrew Hampton told Mike Hosking they're worried about young people radicalising online, geo-strategic shifts, and espionage.   

He says key to their response is the public knowing what to look out for and reporting it. 

Concerning behaviours include someone showing interest in terrorist attacks, identifying with an extremist cause, and supporting violence to further it.
