Hong Kong Government Launches Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign for SMEs

08/06/2026  | 

The Hong Kong Security Commission (HKSC) has launched a comprehensive cybersecurity awareness campaign targeted at small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across the territory.

The initiative, which begins in July 2026, will provide free cybersecurity assessments, training workshops, and practical guidelines for businesses that may not have dedicated IT security teams.

“Many SMEs in Hong Kong are facing increasing cyber threats but lack the resources to protect themselves,” said a spokesperson for the HKSC. “This campaign aims to bridge that gap by making cybersecurity knowledge accessible to all businesses.”

The programme will cover essential topics including password hygiene, phishing awareness, basic network security, and incident response procedures. Participating businesses will receive a personalised security assessment and a prioritised action plan.

HKISG will serve as a technical partner for the campaign, providing expert speakers and educational materials in both English and Chinese.
