The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, published an article titled “Staying Ahead of Cyber Threats in the Digital Age” on Hong Kong Lawyer.
In the article, the Privacy Commissioner highlighted that cyberspace is a key area for safeguarding national security and propelling economic and social development. Organisations as data users bear the responsibility of protecting the personal data they hold. The Privacy Commissioner emphasised that organisations can no longer ignore the risks looming in the cyberspace and should act proactively to defend against cyberattacks.
To assist organisations in enhancing their capabilities to safeguard cyber security, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data rolled out a series of initiatives. These included hosting seminars and workshops, establishing a one-stop “Data Security” thematic webpage and launching a “Data Security Scanner” and “Data Security” Hotline (2110 1155). Organisations are encouraged to make use of these resources to proactively strengthen their defence against cyberattacks.
