Seminar on “Lessons from Data Breach Cases and Recommended Data Security Measures”

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) notes that cyberattacks on the information systems of organisations occurred from time to time, resulting in the leakage of personal data. These incidents were generally caused by the organisations’ failures to adopt adequate and effective organisational or technical security measures to protect their information systems, or by the negligence or error of staff members.

Against this background, the PCPD organises this seminar. Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, the Privacy Commissioner, and Mr Brad KWOK, Chief Personal Data Officer of the PCPD will talk about lessons learnt from data breach cases which occurred in recent years, and elaborate on the causes of the data breaches and the remedial measures taken. The speakers will also provide their recommendations on how to enhance cybersecurity and data security measures, as well as highlight the key points in preventing and handling data breach incidents.

Organisations in all sectors which utilise ICT to handle personal data, IT professionals and members of the public with an interest in the topic are welcome to attend.

Enrolment is on a first-come-first-served basis.
