The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, published an article titled “Cyber Security and AI Security: Prioritising Protection of Personal Data Privacy in the Digital Era” on Hong Kong Lawyer.
In the article, the Privacy Commissioner provided an overview of the key findings from the “Hong Kong Enterprise Cyber Security Readiness Index and AI Security Survey 2024” jointly published by her Office (PCPD) and the Hong Kong Productivity Council.
In particular, the Privacy Commissioner highlighted that the readiness index rose from 47.0 to 52.8 (out of 100) compared with last year, with the index for Corporates reaching an all-time high of 73.1 points. However, nearly 70% of the surveyed enterprises had experienced at least one type of cyberattack in the past 12 months, with phishing attacks continuing to be the most common type of cyberattack among these enterprises.
The Privacy Commissioner encouraged enterprises to make good use of the “Data Security” Package and the “Artificial Intelligence: Model Personal Data Protection Framework” recently launched by the PCPD to strengthen their capabilities in safeguarding cyber security and AI security.
