Hong Kong Cybersecurity Day: Shaping the Future of Cybersecurity

These days, cyber resilience and data protection are some of the most important indicators when it comes to measuring the health and market prospects for an organisation. And in Hong Kong, the increasing incident of cybercrime has further emphasised the need for companies to adopt robust cybersecurity systems.

The amount of cyber attacks in 2020 increased 55% over just the past year (Allen & Overy).
