First-Ever Attack-Defence Simulation Aligns with Real Corporate Needs Setting a New Benchmark for Local Cybersecurity Competitions

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 February 2026 – As cyberattacks grow increasingly complex, cybersecurity has become a critical domain of global concern and a talent shortage. According to the latest “Hong Kong Cybersecurity Outlook 2026” released by the Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) under the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), nearly 30% of the 622 surveyed enterprises still lack dedicated cybersecurity staff. Specifically, only 26% of SMEs have a dedicated cybersecurity role, significantly lower than the 59% of large enterprises, reflecting a gap in resource allocation and technology adoption among SMEs.

To cultivate practical talent for the cybersecurity sector, the sixth “HKCERT Capture The Flag Challenge 2025” (HKCERT CTF Challenge) was successfully organised by the Digital Policy Office (DPO), HKPC, and HKCERT. This year’s competition was elevated to the first-ever adoption of an attack–defence mode, closely replicating the network setup of real enterprises. Participants experienced first-hand hacking techniques, system vulnerability analysis, threat intelligence gathering, and coordinated response in a simulated real-world environment. Through completing multiple tasks within a limited time, the competition also allowed them to break through the traditional classroom theoretical framework, gain practical experience and build confidence. The event attracted around 1,940 young contestants, an increase of nearly 40% from last year’s 1,385 participants, reaching a record high for the competition. Contestants included teams from Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, Asia, and Europe, fostering cross-regional exchange and collaboration. In the finals, three local teams and one overseas team were awarded gold prizes in the Secondary School, Tertiary Institution, Open Category, and International Category respectively, while Sing Yin Secondary School received the “Best School Award”. The full list of awardees is available on the event website.

Participants Share Practical Experience Integrating AI into Attack and Defence
The competition was well received by contestants for its innovative format and realistic offensive and defensive environment, offering a valuable platform for learning and exchange. The winning team in the International Category, W&M, commented, “Our members are from Shanxi, Guangdong and Beijing. This was our first time competing together in the HKCERT CTF Challenge. The atmosphere and experience of the finals were excellent. The tasks were centred on an attack‑defence simulation, requiring us to find all vulnerabilities while patching our own systems and attacking other teams at the same time. Some vulnerabilities were discovered and exploited by other teams first, which kept the scores very close and made the competition incredibly tense and exciting”.

They added, “During the competition, we also applied lots of AI techniques for assistance, such as applying AI to analyse vulnerabilities and refine attack methods. In the future, AI may play a deeper role in areas like vulnerability detection and code analysis, but for now it cannot be fully relied upon—human oversight is still essential”.

HKCERT CTF Challenge has now been held for six consecutive years, with its scale expanding annually and participants showing continuous growth. Many secondary school students gain their first hands‑on exposure to cybersecurity through the competition and connect with university mentors, helping them shape their academic and career paths. Several past participants have gone on to compete in local and international events, committing to a future in the cybersecurity field. Beyond attracting overseas talent to exchange ideas in Hong Kong, HKCERT continues to build connections between cybersecurity professionals in Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland. Top‑performing teams can gain direct entry into equivalent finals in Chinese Mainland. For example, participants from the previous HKCERT CTF Challenge 2024 advanced directly to the finals of the “Greater Bay Area Cup Cybersecurity Challenge”, where they secured the top four places in the Hong Kong and Macao category. This also provided local contestants with access to world‑class cybersecurity techniques, effectively promoting cross‑regional elite collaboration and talent development.

Finals Format Upgraded: Attack-Defence Mode Mirrors Real Enterprise Operations
The finals were comprehensively upgraded this year. In addition to increase the overall technical difficulty, the competition introduced an attack‑defence format for the first time that closely mirrors real enterprise cybersecurity operations. Teams played dual roles—both attackers and defenders—in an environment created with reference to the real-world systems. The tasks simulated incident response and live attack-defence scenarios commonly encountered in the cybersecurity field. Within a limited timeframe, participants had to do penetration testing, exploit vulnerabilities and attack, while patching their own systems and monitoring threats in real time against attacks from other teams. This parallel attack‑defence setup reflects actual workflow patterns in the industry, effectively training participants’ analytical abilities and adaptability under pressure. Through hands‑on practice in a likely enterprise environment, contestants developed multifaceted, industry‑aligned capabilities—laying a solid foundation for their future careers in cybersecurity.

Ms Candy CHAN, Assistant Commissioner (Project Governance and Cybersecurity) of the DPO, highlighted the DPO’s commitment to enhancing Hong Kong’s cyber resilience, with one of its key initiatives being the nurturing of the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. She emphasised that the DPO has been collaborating closely with academia and industry partners to foster a robust talent pipeline and build a safer digital environment in Hong Kong. She noted that this year marks the sixth edition of the HKCERT CTF Challenge, which has grown into one of Hong Kong’s most respected and anticipated cybersecurity competitions over the years. Beyond being a contest of technical prowess, the Challenge serves as a dynamic platform for networking, knowledge exchange and community building among the new generation of cybersecurity experts.

Ir Samson SUEN, General Manager of Digital Trust and Transformation Division of HKPC, stated, “HKCERT CTF Challenge has consistently aimed to build an international platform for technical exchange. Through high-intensity simulated contests, we enhance participants’ cyber defence skills and promote cross-regional interaction among emerging cybersecurity talents. This cultivates a new generation of globally competitive professionals in Hong Kong and strengthens the local talent pipeline. This year’s finals first introduced a simulation of real-world cybersecurity operations, enabling teams to experience both offensive and defensive roles in a recent cybersecurity team. This hands-on approach is crucial for developing practical skills and incident response capabilities”.

Fostering Cybersecurity Awareness Across All Sectors of Society
To further enhance cybersecurity awareness across the community, HKCERT has partnered with the DPO and the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau of The Hong Kong Police Force, to launch the “Building a Secure Cyberspace 2026” campaign to promote cybersecurity awareness. The initiative includes various educational activities, such as an “AI-Generated Four-Panel Comic”contest, which encourages the public to make good use of AI tools while strengthening their understanding of cybersecurity. At the corporate governance level, HKCERT will publish a series of practical guidelines addressing emerging risks —such as AI applications and supply chain security—highlighted in the “Hong Kong Cybersecurity Outlook 2026”, to support business in establishing a robust protection framework. In particular for AI governance, the guidelines will offer actionable recommendations covering AI system security assessments, compliance rules for employees using public AI platforms, controls over sensitive data input, and methods for monitoring and defending against AI‑assisted attacks. These resources aim to help enterprises systematically enhance their cyber resilience across governance, technology, and awareness.

As Hong Kong accelerates the development of innovation and technology and advances its digital economy, strengthening cyber defence capabilities has become a key talent need. HKCERT will continue to support businesses and the public through incident response, security guidance, and cybersecurity awareness programmes. The HKCERT CTF Challenge continues to play a vital role in nurturing local talent, fostering cross-regional collaboration, and advancing public education. By enhancing the overall level of protection, the competition contributes to the sustainable development of the digital economy and reinforces Hong Kong’s long‑term competitiveness.

The seventh edition of HKCERT CTF Challenge will be held in November 2026, featuring more innovative attack-defence challenges and continuing to set up an international category to provide local contestants with a platform for technical exchange with top teams from Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland, and overseas. Registration opens in September 2026, with finalists competing in the live finals in February 2027.

Supporting Sustainable Social Development through Arts and Education Celebrating the Power of “Music Changes Lives”

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 February 2026 – Great Eagle Group (Stock Code: 41) today announced that the Great Eagle Music Children Ensemble, supported by the Group, will present its annual concert, “Symphony of Light & Legacy”, on 29 March 2026 at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in Wanchai. Through the children’s performances, the concert will share their growth and transformation along their music-learning journeys.

Titled “Symphony of Light & Legacy”, the concert reflects the belief that music, like starlight, can gently illuminate children’s paths forward. “Light” symbolises music as a guiding presence, while “Legacy” represents the continuation of care and encouragement—so that each generation of children may feel supported as they explore a broader future.

Following the inaugural “Grow & Glow” concert in 2023, the Ensemble once again appears on a professional stage. The performance offers a glimpse into the children’s learning journeys and the values nurtured through music training, including discipline, confidence and a sense of responsibility. It also reflects the steady efforts of dedicated educators and the support of the wider community.

For many years, Great Eagle Group has supported the Music Children Foundation (the “Foundation”) in providing underprivileged children with access to structured, quality early music education. In 2018, the Group established the Great Eagle Music Children Ensemble under the Foundation to offer outstanding students a continuous and progressive platform. Through professional training, public performances and competitions, the programme seeks to nurture children’s musical abilities and whole-person development. Currently, the Ensemble comprises 73 orchestra members and 24 choir members. To date, the programme has benefited more than 187 children and delivered over 40 public performances.

Mr Alexander Lo, Executive Director of Great Eagle Group, said: “At Great Eagle, our vision is ‘Sustainable Growth’. We believe a company’s responsibility extends beyond business, and that we must use our resources thoughtfully in support of the communities we serve. Over the years, we have focused on arts, youth education and environmental protection, and remain committed to working alongside partners who share these values. We hope, in our own small way, to help create more opportunities for children to be seen, encouraged and supported, so they may move forward with greater confidence and choice.”

Ms Annike Pong and Ms Monique Pong, Co-founders of the Music Children Foundation, said: “Music brings together art and education in a way that can help children build confidence, broaden their horizons and discover their potential. We are thankful for Great Eagle Group’s long-standing support, which allows us to reach more communities and provide quality music education to more children.”

Tickets for “Symphony of Light & Legacy” are available via Cityline starting today. The concert is also supported by Cordis, under Langham Hospitality Group, a member of Great Eagle Group. Cordis’s brand manifesto, “Let Your Heart Rule”, encourages people to stay true to themselves and cherish authentic connections, which resonates with the positive messages conveyed through music.

Sustained Commitment, Creating a Shared Future

Great Eagle Group believes the role of a corporation extends beyond achieving business success to making good use of its resources and uniting collective efforts to bring meaningful and sustainable positive impact to the community. Through continued investment in children and youth development, mental wellbeing and cultural education, the Group will continue to move forward hand in hand with society to help create a better future.

逾11,000名專家匯聚香江 鞏固香港國際眼科樞紐地位 深化學術交流 推動跨地域合作 共譜眼科醫學新篇章

香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年2月13日 – 為期四天的「APAO 2026亞太眼科學會年會」已於日前圓滿閉幕。作為亞太區內規模最宏大、最具權威性的眼科學術盛會，本屆年會第五度選址香港，成功匯聚全球逾11,000名來自111個國家及地區的眼科醫生、研究人員及護理專家。此次盛會不僅彰顯了香港作為國際眼科樞紐的卓越地位，更為全球眼科界提供了深度交流與廣泛合作的平台。

成功舉辦逾1200場專題講座深度交流尖端科技臨床應用與轉化

本屆年會由亞太眼科學會主辦，香港眼科學會及香港眼科醫學院聯合承辦，以「放眼未來：創新眼科」為主題，呈獻逾1200場精彩的眼科專題講座。逾千名頂尖講者與超過11,000名與會者齊聚一堂，共同探討尖端科技的臨床應用與轉化，引發了眾多具啟發性的討論。

學術議程涵蓋19個眼科亞專科，議題豐富多元，不僅深入探討白內障、角膜病、青光眼、眼底內外科、小兒眼科及眼腔整形科等核心領域，更廣泛延伸至人工智能、數碼醫療及虛擬健康等新興前沿範疇，為推動全球眼科醫學的持續進步帶來極大裨益。

成立香港首個跨學科近視防控專家研究小組，向政府提出全面防控策略建議

年會期間，香港四個主要眼科相關組織——香港眼科學會、香港眼科醫學院、香港執業眼科醫生會及香港小兒眼科及斜視學會，聯合成立了首個香港跨學科近視防控專家研究小組。該小組將綜合學術研究、臨床服務及公眾教育的精髓，為香港制定全面的近視防控策略，並向政府提出具體建議。此外，小組亦將積極推動人工智能、可穿戴設備與新型療法等前沿科技融入臨床實踐，以期推動更全面、具成本效益且長遠的近視管理方案，惠澤香港廣大市民。

特設中文專題環節，促進中港及國際眼科專家深度協作

為進一步加強區域合作與學術交流，本屆APAO年會除常規英文講座外，特別增設中文專題環節，成功邀請逾百名中國內地眼科權威專家蒞港進行深度研討，積極推動中國內地機構、香港本地夥伴與國際組織間的緊密協作。此次年會亦吸引了3,000名中國內地專家學者參與，充分體現中港兩地以至國際間的緊密聯繫與合作。

其中，以「中國近視防控模式」為主題的公共衛生午餐會成為焦點。中國內地專家在此環節中，向國際眼科界同儕詳細闡述了中國如何透過完善的公共衛生管理、紮實的科學研究、前沿技術與有效政策，成功建立一套影響深遠的綜合防治體系，為全球近視防控提供了寶貴經驗。

中港眼科學會簽署合作備忘錄，新設學會推動眼科人工智能及幹細胞基因治療發展

為進一步加強中國內地與香港在眼科領域的協作，中華醫學會眼科學分會與香港眼科學會及香港眼科醫學院於本次年會期間簽署了合作備忘錄，旨在共同深化推進兩地眼科事業的長遠發展，共譜眼科新篇章。

同時，世界眼科人工智能及科技創新學會 (Global Ophthalmic AI and Technology Society, GOATS)以及亞太幹細胞及基因治療學會（Asia-Pacific Stem Cell and Gene Therapy Society, APSOCGT）亦於會議期間正式創立。這兩大新學會的成立，對於推動亞太以至全球眼科人工智能、科技創新、幹細胞及基因治療從基礎研究轉化至臨床應用，將提供莫大助力。

APAO年會第五度選址香港鞏固其國際眼科樞紐地位

亞太眼科學會年會主席兼香港眼科學會會長任卓昇教授在總結時表示：「APAO年會第五度選址香港舉行，不僅充分證明本港在眼科領域的卓越實力備受國際認可，亦有助於香港提升應對複雜病例的臨床能力，並成功向世界展示香港前沿的眼科醫療技術與科研實力。藉此機會，我謹向所有合辦機構、主講嘉賓、參與者及贊助團體，特別是創新科技署轄下資助計劃的鼎力支持，致以最誠摯的謝意，使APAO 2026得以圓滿成功。我們期待香港未來能再次取得APAO的主辦權。」
