In recent years, cybersecurity has become one of the most prominent and talent-scarce fields in the information technology sector. Offensive and defensive cybersecurity, in particular, will be a key future demand for industry professionals. This has led to the rise of positions such as “Penetration Tester,” “Ethical Hacker,” and “Red Team Operator.” These roles require a deep understanding of programming, cryptography, application systems and etc. The mindset and techniques akin to those of hackers will also be the elements in order to quickly identify and patch security vulnerabilities.
Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions are designed to train these specific skills and mindsets. Participants must find hidden vulnerabilities in a simulated environment based on real systems to break through security defenses. Upon success, they capture “flags” and earn points. Such competitions are held worldwide to enhance security techniques, with some even featuring global rankings to compete for the title of the best in the world.
“HKCERT Capture The Flag 2024” is organised by the Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) and the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), and is supported by the Cloud Security Alliance Hong Kong & Macau Chapter. At its fifth edition, it is one of the largest cybersecurity competitions in Hong Kong, featuring four categories: Secondary School, Tertiary, Open, and International.
The Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited and ISACA China Hong Kong Chapter co-organise the first-ever cyber security staff awareness related organisation recognition scheme in Hong Kong – the “Cyber Security Staff Awareness Recognition Scheme”. The scheme currently open for application until August 31, 2024.
Cloud Security Alliance Hong Kong & Macau Chapter is a supporter of the scheme.
Assessment criteria include:
– Cyber Security Training – Phishing Drill Participation – Comprehensive Cyber Security Policy – Reporting Channels for Cyber Security Issues – Dissemination of Cyber Security Information
The organisers also provide free resources and assistance to help businesses and organisations achieve a higher level of recognition, thereby fostering cybersecurity protection within their entities and ultimately benefiting entire business environment.
The Cloud Forum, the 9th in the popular series, is back delivering updated and inspiring news, technology and practices in the cloud and business community. With the advent of GenAI and its omnipotent influence, the cloud is undergoing significant changes in all levels to accommodate, to take advantage of and to protect its integrity from this influence.
At this event, we are examining the business impacts GenAI has induced, the strategies cloud practitioners should employ to navigate the cloudscape, as well as the responsibilities of leaders who must keep the business’ integrity intact. On the individual level, how should we humans collaborate with GenAI? Will it be our greatest friend or our worst foe? Above all, there are the networking opportunities at the Cloud Forum, an integral part of all our events, that create new and consolidate existing relationships. These relationship building is one of the core drivers for the continued success and growth in the industry

As one of the most developed data center and cloud computing markets in Asia, Hong Kong is very likely to witness the growth of data center investment. The region has also witnessed the deployment of 5G technology, which may increase the number of interconnected devices in China. Mainland China’s demand for cross-border overseas business is also stimulating the growth of cloud computing service industries such as Hong Kong cloud servers. Hong Kong companies have a high level of service awareness and are more willing to adopt the latest industry trends, such as virtualization and cloud computing. Virtualization has become the key to data center consolidation, which can compress more virtual machines into physical servers and significantly increase server utilization.
Diving deep into these transformative trends, exploring the latest in hypergrowth and investment, securing the connected enterprise, and the role of AI, automation, and the intelligent edge. The 2024 Hong Kong Cloud & Datacenter Convention help industry leaders and experts navigate the challenges and opportunities in the evolving landscape of cloud and data centers, with a focus on building trust and resilience in the age of AI, unlocking the power of 5G and edge computing, and shaping the future workforce.
