HKCERT’s Build a Secure Cyberspace 2025 “Let’s Secure as we Digitalise” Instant Messaging Apps Stickers Design Contest, highlighted on 18 May 2025, turns everyday chat apps into an awareness canvas. HKISG lists it because Hong Kong work still happens in WhatsApp, WeChat, and similar channels where sticker-level advice can travel farther than a policy PDF.

Why this programme matters in Hong Kong

Instant-messaging fraud and unsafe file sharing remain a primary SME loss path. A public sticker contest is not a control framework, but it is a legitimate way to put CERT themes in front of students and staff. HKISG treats it as community education, not as a technical standard.

Hong Kong operators — from licensed financial institutions to SMEs and public-sector teams — still need rooms where practitioners compare operated controls, not only product slides. HKISG publishes this briefing so members can decide whether attendance, a speaking note, or a post-event debrief belongs on their calendar.

Who should attend

Teachers, student designers, corporate awareness leads, and SME owners who need shareable, non-alarmist visuals for staff groups.

Typical readers of this HKISG listing include CISOs, security architects, risk and compliance leads, SOC managers, and technology executives who own cyber and AI security outcomes in Hong Kong.

HKISG’s interest in this listing

HKISG lists this contest as public education aligned with identifiable organisers. The group does not claim to have judged entries unless an organiser page says otherwise — and in the restored archive, it does not.

HKISG does not sell speaking slots on this page. Treat the official event website as the live source of agenda, venue, speaker confirmation, and enrolment rules.

Themes practitioners should watch

Reuse only materials HKCERT publishes for public use. Pair stickers with a one-line rule: never send one-time passwords, and never pay from a chat instruction without a second channel.

After the session, capture a dated one-page note: what changed in your threat model, which control owner should act, and when you will review evidence. Pair that note with HKISG education, security bulletins, and the assessment methodology when the conversation touches Trust Review language.

How Hong Kong teams can take part

  1. Read this HKISG briefing for community context before you decide to travel, dial in, or send a colleague.
  2. Open the official event website hosted at hkcert.org for agenda, venue, and registration rules.
  3. Members who want a co-hosted briefing or a post-event note for the community may use the contact form. Proposals need identifiable organisers and a Hong Kong-relevant audience — not an undisclosed product pitch.
  4. If you are hiring or teaching, connect what you heard to HKCERT and HKISG so staff know when to escalate to the CERT versus when to use HKISG programme materials.
