The first regional information security summit opened Monday with the participation of more than 120 information technology professionals and business executives.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of "Information Security Summit 2003: Hong Kong," K.K. Yeung, executive director of Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), said, "The summit aims to provide a platform for experts from the Asia Pacific region and beyond to exchange their views and experience on this very important subject."

In a global economy that relies increasingly on the flow of information through computer networks, information security has become a prerequisite of business operation, said Yeung.

"Over the past few months, the business community worldwide has weathered waves after waves of virus and worm attacks, a timely reminder for us all that information security has no national or regional boundaries, and that business continuity under such circumstances can only be ensured through international co-operation," he said.

Under the theme of "Capitalize the Value of Information Security for Competitive Advantage," over 20 speakers from Australia, France, Germany, China, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, the United States and Britain are sharing their insight on the latest development in information security at the two-day summit.

The topics include computer forensics, web application hacking, crisis management, cross-border cyber crime prevention, information security standards in organization, firewall architectures, information security audit, business continuity planning, security evaluation techniques and mobile security.
