The featured presentations and panel discussions covered numerous cutting-edge cybersecurity terminologies and the latest industry developments, substantially increasing the event\u2019s value for attendees. Further details about the symposium can be found at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cybersechub.hk\/tc\/eventDetail\/cybersecurity-symposium-2025\">https:\/\/www.cybersechub.hk\/tc\/eventDetail\/cybersecurity-symposium-2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary focus of this year\u2019s symposium was undoubtedly the implementation of Hong Kong\u2019s Protection of Critical Infrastructures (Computer Systems) Ordinance. To facilitate its smooth enforcement, the Office of the Commissioner of Critical Infrastructure (Computer-system Security) (OCCICS) has specifically drafted a Code of Practice for reference and compliance by relevant stakeholders. The Code is available at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.occics.gov.hk\/tc\/industry\/code-of-practice\/index.html\">https:\/\/www.occics.gov.hk\/tc\/industry\/code-of-practice\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sessions addressed current cybersecurity hot topics, including countering nation-state hackers in supply chain attacks, the critical role of executive leadership in cybersecurity practices, effective threat intelligence gathering, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by both attackers and defenders, the tactics and activity trends of ransomware groups, post-quantum cryptography applications, IoT security, personal data privacy protection, and digital asset safeguarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"552\" src=\"https:\/\/crosswise.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20260120_164701.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crosswise.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20260120_164701.jpg 940w, https:\/\/crosswise.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20260120_164701-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crosswise.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20260120_164701-768x451.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Su is well-versed in all these areas. In particular, supply chain security, IoT security, and personal data privacy protection align precisely with the key objectives CrossWise successfully achieved for its clients throughout 2025. The company delivered an integrated suite of services\u2014including penetration testing, risk assessments, source code audits, security remediation, and even business logic re-engineering\u2014to comprehensively address these challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the topic that resonated most deeply with Mr. Su was the role of senior leadership in cybersecurity practice. This is indeed a familiar refrain: as far back as two decades ago, during discussions on enterprise informatization, executive buy-in was already recognized as pivotal. Today, as the focus shifts to cybersecurity, it simply reflects a formerly peripheral aspect of enterprise IT governance moving center stage. Fundamentally, the core challenge remains unchanged across time: it always comes down to people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It always comes down to people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leveraging its extensive hands-on experience, CrossWise possesses a deep understanding of the perspectives and competing interests of personnel across different organizational levels and roles. This enables the company to design practical, actionable project solutions that effectively help clients integrate cybersecurity initiatives with software engineering projects, thereby mitigating risks at their source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"940\" src=\"https:\/\/crosswise.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20260121_102321.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crosswise.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20260121_102321.jpg 940w, https:\/\/crosswise.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20260121_102321-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crosswise.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20260121_102321-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/crosswise.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG_20260121_102321-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 20, 2026, Sender Su, Founder of CrossWise InfoTech Limited (\u201cCrossWise\u201d), participated in the Cybersecurity Symposium 2025, organized by the Digital Policy Office of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.
