Download "Incident Response Guideline for SMEs" for Cyber Security Incidents
Cyber attacks evolve rapidly as the costs and efforts required for hackers to launch attacks are decreasing due to the development of automation and computing powers. This leads to increased cyber attacks targeting different organisations (including public or private, multinational or local organisations). As most small and medium enterprises (SMEs) lack the resources to build a wider scope of cyber defence to prevent or block cyber attacks, this makes them an easy target.
To address the above-mentioned issues, HKCERT has developed the “Incident Response Guideline for SMEs” to help SMEs and other organisations
Cyber Attacks Become More Complex and Diversified Phishing Attacks Reach New High HKCERT Calls ...
The Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) of the Hong Kong Productivity Council today announced a review on the information security situation in Hong Kong in 2021 and the forecast for 2022. In the past year, the epidemic was still raging, which greatly changed how enterprises conduct their business and the living habits of individuals. Distance business, work from home, distance learning and online shopping have become the “new normal”. With the wider use of information technology, the threat of cyber attacks cannot be overlooked. Hence both enterprises and individual must raise their awareness of information security with preventative measures in place so that the community can effectively respond to the increasingly sophisticated and complex cyber attacks.
