In today's digital age, cyber threats are a growing concern for businesses of all sizes, as the consequences of a cyber attack can be devastating, resulting in breach of personal data of clients and employees, financial loss, reputational damage, and legal liability. Small to Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) are particularly vulnerable to cyber threats, as they often lack the resources and expertise in cyber security to protect themselves against sophisticated cyber attacks. In view of this, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) has partnered with the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) to launch the “Data Security Training Series for SMEs” to assist them in enhancing their data security.
As the first training event in the series, this seminar will explore how SMEs can effectively prevent cyber attacks, including common attacks by hackers, preventive measures and response strategies. Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, the Privacy Commissioner of Personal Data, and Ir Alex CHAN, General Manager of Digital Transformation Division of HKPC, will share real case examples of data breaches caused by cyber attacks in recent years, and introduce practical tools and resources to enhance SMEs’ cybersecurity capabilities.
SMEs in all sectors which utilise ICT to handle personal data, IT professionals and members of the public with an interest in the topic are welcome to attend.
