To assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in enhancing their data security, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) and the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) jointly launched the “Data Security Training Series for SMEs”. The second seminar of the training series, titled “Understanding Data Security and Privacy Risks Related to AI for SMEs”, was successfully held on 13 June, attracting over 400 participants.
