Macroview Telecom, the cybersecurity and digital transformation solution arm of HGC Group, and Deloitte Cyber have observed a heightened risk of attack for firms in Hong Kong due to the combination of rapid digitalisation and the pandemic.
The two highlighted how this has contributed to data privacy risks, while opening up opportunities for cyber criminals to strike as organisations rush to meet evolving customer demands.
Andrew Kwok, CEO of HGC said: “HGC Group is continuously expanding the digital transformation to local and international markets, cybersecurity is one of the most prominent consideration during this digital journey. Riding on our full-fledged digital infrastructure, we’ll continue to invest millions of US dollars in different phases to further enhance our capabilities in cybersecurity.
"The partnership between HGC Group’s Macroview and Deloitte can offer a 360-degree view of cybersecurity services across all industry segments to protect our customers’ digital assets, and support them in operating an anti-risk environment while developing their business.”
Macroview Telecom and Deloitte Cyber will focus on four areas of action: predict and prevent; detect; protect; and response.
Miro Pihkanen, partner, Deloitte Cyber said, "The cyber threat has become a board-level risk in today’s business world. If you’re operating online, you’re at risk. An attack can lead to financial and reputational damage, both of which can be irreparable. A reactive response is no longer good enough, prevention measures must be put in place well in advance and proactive detection of threats is a must."
