Although the details have not been disclosed yet, we will publish special articles on the existing national cybersecurity laws every two weeks to help everyone better understand and respond to them.
Hong Kong has taken a solid step in protecting cybersecurity! To enhance the protection of critical infrastructure network security, the SAR government plans to clearly establish the network security responsibilities of key infrastructure operators through legislation, including establishing a sound prevention and management system to ensure the operation of their information systems and network security. The new legislation will ensure that our networks are protected from threats and attacks, and maintain the digital security of citizens.
With the legislation of the Hong Kong Cybersecurity Law, Hong Kong enterprises are responsible for the network security of their own network environment, application systems, and clients. If they fail to comply with the provisions of the Cybersecurity Law for reinforcement checks, resulting in malicious attacks, even the attacked party will be held legally responsible for violating the Cybersecurity Law. Therefore, enterprises should fulfill their obligations to maintain network security. The legislation of the Hong Kong Cybersecurity Law is committed to building a secure and stable network environment, protecting personal privacy and data from infringement.
The upcoming legislation of the Hong Kong Cybersecurity Law is closely related to the Cybersecurity Law of the People’s Republic of China (referred to as the Cybersecurity Law). How much do you know about the Cybersecurity Law? Let’s first learn about the Cybersecurity Law
The Cybersecurity Law of the People’s Republic of China (referred to as the Cybersecurity Law) aims to safeguard cybersecurity, safeguard cyberspace sovereignty, national security, and public interests, protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens, legal persons, and other organizations, and promote the healthy development of economic and social informatization. The current Cybersecurity Law, which came into effect on June 1, 2017, is an important milestone in China’s legal construction of cyberspace.
On the one hand, it is necessary to adapt to the new situation and tasks of national cybersecurity work, and ensure cybersecurity and development interests.
On the other hand, issues such as large-scale cyber attacks, personal privacy breaches, and online fraud continue to emerge, and there is an urgent need to establish and improve a legal system for cybersecurity. In this situation, the promulgation of the Cybersecurity Law is very necessary, and it is of great significance to improve the level of cybersecurity protection in China and the overall awareness of cybersecurity in society!
