HGC has fully championed this year’s “ICT Open Day” theme — “Enhance Equality in Our Society with AI in Communications”. Its cybersecurity team welcomed the students and teachers from Po Leung Kuk Yao Ling Sun College, S.K.H. Chan Young Secondary School, and Hong Kong Baptist University Affiliated School Wong Kam Fai Secondary and Primary School, gave them an in-depth tour of CROC. Moreover, the team helped the visitors explore the application of AI in cybersecurity solutions. During the visit, the cybersecurity experts demonstrated the Center’s most advanced protection technology — “Fusion Armor” monitoring system, highlighting its powerful features, which include attack simulations, vulnerability scanning, AI-driven threat detection, incident response plan reviews, and dark web monitoring. This experience helped the students understand the importance of AI in creating a cybersecure environment that fosters equality and inclusivity in society. By learning about the various operational and functions of the CROC, the students have not only gained insights into how innovative technologies can promote social equality, but also are more aware of the need to promote social responsibility and equity with the application of innovation and technology.
With the rapid development of innovative technologies, ICT professionals are playing an important role in solidifying Hong Kong’s status as a global ICT hub, and therefore HGC has remained committed to nurturing ICT talent. HGC firmly believes in the power of future innovators and thus the Group’s human resources representatives shared insights into the ICT industry ecosystem, employment guidelines, and career opportunities, explaining the possibilities within the ICT field from various aspects at the “ICT Open Day”. They also offered professional, practical, and specific advice; conducting one-on-one consultations, answering questions about further studies, resume writing, interview tips, and more – helping the students establish a solid foundation for pursuing their career goals.
Daniel Ho, Vice President – Unified Cyber Security and Digital Transformation Solutions at HGC, said, “HGC is delighted to participate once again in ‘ICT Open Day’ as this meaningful event allows us to engage with future elites. Through this gathering, we are able to showcase the Group’s capabilities as a leading telecommunications operator and fully-fledged ICT service provider, while at the same time helping students understand how to leverage emerging innovative technologies to promote positive societal development.
