首次引入攻防實戰模式緊貼企業需求 樹立本地網安競技新標竿

香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年2月13日 – 隨著網絡攻擊日益複雜，網絡安全已成為全球關注且人才緊缺的關鍵領域。香港生產力促進局（生產力局）轄下的香港網絡安全事故協調中心（HKCERT）最新發表的《香港網絡安全展望2026》反映，在受訪的622間企業中，近三成仍無專責人員負責網絡安全，其中僅26%中小企設有專職網安人員，遠低於大企業的59%，反映中小企在資源投放與技術應用上仍存差距。

為應對挑戰並培育實戰人才，由數字政策辦公室（數字辦）、生產力局及HKCERT合辦的第六屆「香港網安奪旗賽2025」已順利舉行。本屆賽事全面升級，首度採用高度貼近真實企業網絡運作的「攻防對抗模式」，讓參賽者在模擬真實威脅的環境中，親身體驗黑客攻擊手段、系統弱點分析、情報搜集與團隊協作應變，突破傳統課堂理論框架，於有限時間內完成多項任務，累積實戰經驗並建立信心。 今年賽事吸引約1,940名年輕選手參加，較去年約1,385人上升近四成，創歷屆新高。參賽隊伍除本地精英外，更包括來自內地、亞洲及歐洲的國際隊伍同台競技，促進跨地域技術交流與協作。最終由三支本地隊伍及一支海外隊伍分別奪得中學組、大專組、公開組及國際組金獎；「最佳學校獎」則由聖言中學奪得。得獎名單詳見活動網站。

選手分享實戰體驗結合AI輔助攻防
比賽獲參賽選手正面評價，其創新的賽制與真實的攻防環境，為他們提供具價值的學習與交流平台。國際組金獎隊伍 W&M 成員分享：「我們的成員有來自山西、廣東及北京，今年是第一次一起參加HKCERT『香港網安奪旗賽』，今次現場決賽的氛圍及體驗都很好，題目針對攻防對抗模式，需要尋找所有保安漏洞，然後邊修復，邊攻擊其他隊伍，過程有些漏洞被其他隊伍先找到及發動攻擊，所以分數咬得很緊，十分緊張刺激。這次比賽中我們也用了很多AI技術來輔助，比如用AI協助分析漏洞、完善攻擊方式。未來AI可能會更深入協助漏洞查找、程式碼分析等，但現階段還不能完全依賴，需要結合人來判斷。」

「香港網安奪旗賽」舉辦至今已連續六屆，規模逐年擴展，並見證參賽者持續成長。不少中學生透過賽事首次接觸實戰網安領域，結識大學前輩，從而確立升學與職業方向；更有往屆選手持續參與本地及國際賽事，立志投身網安行業。除吸引海外精英來港交流外，HKCERT亦持續搭建香港與内地的網安人才聯動。表現卓越的隊伍能直接晉級內地同類型決賽，如去年有參加「香港網安奪旗賽2024」的隊伍便直接晉身「灣區杯網絡安全大賽」的決賽並包攬港澳組前四名，同時能讓本地選手有接觸世界級網絡安全技術的機會，有效地促進跨地域精英協作與人才培育。

決賽賽制全面升級攻防並行緊貼企業運作模式
本屆決賽全面升級，除提升整體技術難度外，更首次加入貼近真實企業網絡防護運作的「攻防戰」模式。參賽隊伍需在由大會根據真實系統構建的環境中，同時扮演進攻與防守的雙重角色。決賽題目模擬網絡安全領域中的事故應變與攻防實戰，要求參賽者在限時內既要通過滲透偵察及利用漏洞主動發動攻擊，同時亦需迅速修補弱點、加固系統及進行實時監控，以抵禦其他隊伍的攻勢。這種攻防並行的設定對應了業界在日常運作中的工作流程，更有效鍛鍊參賽者在高壓環境下的分析能力及應變技巧。透過在近乎真實的企業級場景中演練，參賽者得以掌握更貼近業界需求的複合技能，為未來投身網絡安全行業奠定堅實基礎。

數字辦助理數字政策專員（項目管理及網絡安全）陳慧中女士在致辭時指出，數字辦致力提升香港的網絡韌性，其中重點舉措之一是培育新一代網絡安全專業人才。為此，數字辦一直與學界及業界夥伴緊密合作，共同推動各項人才培養計劃，為香港建設更安全的數碼環境。她表示，今年是HKCERT「香港網安奪旗賽」舉辦第六年，活動已發展成香港最具聲望的網絡安全競賽之一，這不僅是一場技術較量，更是一個促進新一代網絡安全專家交流聯繫、知識分享與社群建設的平台。

生產力局網絡安全及數碼轉型部總經理孫國偉工程師表示：「『香港網安奪旗賽』一直致力打造國際級技術交流平台。我們希望透過高強度模擬實戰競賽，全方位提升參賽者在網絡防禦的技術能力，同時促進不同地區年輕網絡安全專才的互動，為香港培育具國際競爭力的網絡安全新一代，為本地產業建立穩固及持續的人才梯隊。今年的賽事決賽更首次引入模擬現實世界的網絡安全運作模式，讓參賽隊伍能同時體驗現代網絡安全團隊在攻防的雙重角色，對培養實用技能及事件應對能力具有重要意義。」

推動全民網安意識滲透社會各層面
為進一步提升社會的網絡安全意識，HKCERT今年聯同數字辦及香港警務處網絡安全及科技罪案調查科推出「共建安全網絡2026」宣傳計劃，透過多元教育活動推廣安全上網文化。其中更舉辦 「用AI製作四格漫畫」 創意比賽，鼓勵公眾善用AI工具並加強對資訊安全的認知。在企業管治層面上，HKCERT將就《香港網絡安全展望2026》中揭示的人工智能應用及供應鏈安全等新興風險發布系列實用指引，協助企業建立穩健防護框架。尤其在AI治理，HKCERT的指引將涵蓋AI系統安全評估、員工使用公共AI平台的合規守則、敏感資料輸入管控，以及如何監測與防禦AI輔助攻擊等實務建議，協助企業從管治、技術與意識三方面，系統性強化網絡韌性。

香港正全力推動創新科技與數字經濟，提升網絡攻防能力已成業界對人才的核心需求。HKCERT將繼續為企業及公眾提供事故應對支援、防禦指引及保安意識教育。「香港網安奪旗賽」持續為本地培育網安人才、促進跨地域合作與公眾教育，提升整體防護能力，對數字經濟的可持續發展及香港競爭力具有長遠意義。

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.
