"Hong Kong Clean PC Day 2007" Promotion Campaign
As at December 2006, there were about 276,000 Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Hong Kong. They accounted for over 98% of the total business units and provided job opportunities to over 1.19 million persons, about 50% of total employment (excluding civil service), a thriving SME sector is thus vital to the economic growth of Hong Kong.
With this in view, the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) has teamed up again with the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) and Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) to jointly organise a promotion campaign namely "Hong Kong Clean PC Day 2007". SMEs will be the main targets of our campaign this year. We hope through our publicity programmes, SMEs can understand more about how important that information security management is to their business and hence they can assimilate the knowledge to reduce the chance of being attacked.
Information security management involves a combination of prevention, detection and reaction processes. It is a cycle of iterative activities and processes that require ongoing monitoring and control. To make it easier for the public to understand the concept of information security management and take forward implementation plans, we have summarised the concepts as the following diagram and named it as "Information Security Management Quartet".
