Hong Kong has been hit by a spate of cyberattacks last year, notably a series of ransomware attacks targeting the government, healthcare, and education sectors. Worsened by the rampant abuse of AI to manipulate truths, it is evident that no entity is immune to becoming a victim of cyberattacks, regardless the scale of its business or industry sector.    In the latest summer issue of Employers' Federation of Hong Kong Quarterly Journal “Connect”, Nicky Au, General Manager of Ensign InfoSecurity Greater China Region (GCR) discusses key cyber threat insights in the GCR, and the dual nature of AI and its impact on businesses and cyber professionals.   https://lnkd.in/eXNvxFBc
