Who We Are

About HKISG

An independent Hong Kong organisation making cybersecurity knowledge accessible to everyone — professionals, businesses, and the public.

Our Vision

A Hong Kong where digital security is not a luxury — it's a baseline.

AI can now write phishing emails in your mother tongue, clone a CEO's voice in seconds, and exploit software faster than humans can patch it. The threat landscape has changed forever, but most people — and most businesses — are still operating on yesterday's playbook.

We envision a Hong Kong where security literacy is as fundamental as financial literacy: where every SME knows how to protect customer data, where citizens can spot a deepfake scam, and where professionals across sectors share threat intelligence in real time.

Our Mission

Three things we do — and only three.

Translate

We take complex security research and turn it into clear, practical guidance that non-specialists can actually use. No jargon, no fear-mongering — just facts.

Connect

We bring together security professionals, policymakers, academics, and business leaders who wouldn't normally sit at the same table. Cross-sector collaboration is how Hong Kong stays resilient.

Advocate

We work with policymakers and industry bodies to shape regulations that protect people without stifling innovation. Especially on AI governance, data privacy, and digital identity.

What We Cover

Four Security Pillars

Our research, news coverage, and wiki are organised around the domains that define today's threat landscape.

Cybersecurity

Threat intelligence, ransomware defence, and OT/ICS security for critical infrastructure.

AI Security

Deepfakes, prompt injection, AI-powered phishing, and the frameworks needed to govern it.

Digital Identity

Passwordless auth, eKYC, biometric security, and protecting personal data.

Web3 & Blockchain

Smart contract auditing, decentralised platform security, and emerging protocol risks.
