This showed the need for more awareness about cyber intelligence to protect businesses, Hong Kong Productivity Council chairman Willy Lin Sun-mo told the Information Security Summit in the city on Tuesday.
“Since we may not have the luxury of two days to prepare for the next attack, we must make sure we have more information at our fingertips in the initial stage”, he said.
“If we have better and more knowledge on what is happening in other parts of the world or the attacks that our peers are facing, we can react faster to mitigate the risk of an emerging cyberattack”, Lin said.
