The Digital Policy Office (DPO) worked with the Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) to launch the Cybersecurity Service Providers Connect Programme to support local enterprises in enhancing their cybersecurity. Over 70 industry practitioners from more than 40 cybersecurity-related enterprises attended the briefing webinar for service providers today (June 25) to learn about the programme details.
 
     The programme aims to strengthen the connection between cybersecurity service providers and local businesses and organisations, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to assist in sourcing suitable cybersecurity solutions. After categorisation and vetting, the HKCERT will put the information of service providers meeting predefined requirements on a dedicated website to facilitate SMEs in sourcing and procuring suitable cybersecurity services. The related solutions mainly cover four service areas: Internet Security Solution, Cybersecurity Assessment Service, Managed Security and Incident Response Service, and Cybersecurity Training Service. Meanwhile, the programme also includes the provision of a cybersecurity resource hub, offering guidance on cybersecurity solutions and references for best practices in cybersecurity for SMEs.
 
     In addition to the programme, the DPO has also partnered with the Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited to launch the free and integrated security service "Cybersec One" in March 2025, helping participating organisations identify website vulnerabilities, conduct risk assessments, and provide solutions to empower local secondary schools and primary schools, non-governmental organisations and SMEs to strengthen their cybersecurity resilience in all dimensions. The DPO will continue to safeguard cybersecurity in Hong Kong through fostering industry collaboration and uniting diverse stakeholders, thus promoting the sustainable development of Hong Kong's digital economy.
