金發局:香港為網絡攻擊主要目標之一 促各界加強網絡安全
金融發展局發表金融服務業網絡安全策略研究報告,指出香港作為全球重要金融中心,人均收入位居前列,加上數碼經濟水平較先進,已成為網絡攻擊的其中一個主要目標。
報告指出,近年網絡風險成本不斷上升,2019年全球網絡罪案造成的損失按年增長逾50%超過1萬億美元,去年相關網絡罪案中,金融服務業佔23%。
金發局表示,金融服務業作為香港經濟重要支柱之一,政府應設立跨局或跨部門工作小組,制訂專門的網絡空間安全路線圖並配以政策支持,並立法保護網絡空間,統一各項網絡安全架相關金融規例。
金發局網絡安全工作小組聯席組長、達維律師事務所合夥人陳家敏指出,人才短缺是各地都正面對的問題,建議香港可參考其他地區做法,建立網絡安全培訓機構,並呼籲公私營界別加強合作,為網絡風險作充分準備。
騰訊(00700.HK)集團副總裁兼富融銀行董事長賴智明表示,網絡安全一直為騰訊的發展重心,公司所有業務均是線上服務,涉及生活、支付、教育等多個領域,用戶基礎龐大,例如目前中國支付業務月活躍用戶達到約9億人,因此非常重視如何無阻礙、安全地為市民提供穩定可信服務。
