Joining Hands to Build a Safer Digital Hong Kong
Registration Now Open

In today’s digital world, cyberattacks on organisations’ information systems are not just occasional events; they have become a real threat which may lead to the leakage of personal data and financial and reputational damage. Meanwhile, as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve at a rapid pace, organisations of all sizes are eager to harness its transformative potential. However, the application of AI carries challenges, as AI also introduces cybersecurity and personal data privacy risks that must be critically addressed by organisations. In light of this, t he Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) and t he Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited (HKIRC) will co-organise the “AI Security and Cybersecurity Summit for Enterprises” (Summit) on 31 March 2026 (Tuesday), with the Digital Policy Office acting as a strategic partner. The Summit aims to raise the awareness and readiness of organisations, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to address AI security and cybersecurity risks in the business environment, thereby building a safer and more resilient digital Hong Kong. Registration for the Summit is now open to all sectors.

The Summit will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and will feature two key thematic areas – “AI Security” and “Cybersecurity” – each presenting dedicated keynote presentations and panel discussions. The event will bring together leading experts, industry leaders, policymakers and company directors to explore the evolving AI security and cybersecurity threat landscape, exchange innovative solutions, and share insights into strengthening cybersecurity and data protection in the age of AI.

The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, said, “The application of AI presents boundless opportunities for organisations, yet it also brings with it risks over personal data privacy. It is essential for organisations to plan ahead and strike a balance between innovation and the protection of personal data privacy, so as to develop sustainably in the age of AI. The Summit offers a valuable platform for exchange and sharing of knowledge and experiences, providing organisations with practical guidance on developing and using AI in a privacy-friendly manner. It aims to strengthen organisations’ defensive measures and drive innovation and technology development.”

The Chairman of HKIRC, Mr Sean LEE, said, “Cybersecurity is a fundamental cornerstone of sustainable organisational development. In the face of dynamic and ever-changing cyberattacks, it is prerequisite for organisations to adopt a forward-looking approach to comprehensively identify and ward off potential threats, thereby ensuring data and system security. By strengthening protection across Hong Kong’s digital landscape, it can drive the sustainable growth of the local digital economy and further cement Hong Kong’s leading position as an international digital hub.”
