The Cyber Security Information Portal (www.cybersecurity.hk) was launched by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO), Hong Kong. This Cyber Security Information Portal (CSIP) is a unique resource that provides step-by-step guidelines and cyber security tool information for general users, SMEs and schools to conduct health check on computers, mobile devices and websites.

CSIP also inform users with latest highlights of public events, expert advices and stories that have been contributed by the expert organizations. CSIP comprises five types of information resources. The Safety Centre assists users with guidelines and tool information to conduct health checks on their computers, mobile devices and websites for keeping them safe from common cyber attacks. Users can learn about the security risks the precautions they can take when performing activities such as online shopping and social networking at the Learning Centre. Industry experts share their valuable experience and views on various information security topics at the Expert Corner while the Event Highlight section provides a list of cyber security-related events for the participation of interested parties. Finally, there is a dedicated Media Centre that provides a whole collection of multimedia materials. Videos are available for the users to learn about various security best practices. The portal comes with a clear layout and responsive web design for an enhanced user experience. The OGCIO will later arrange for the broadcasting of a new set of TV and radio Announcements in the Public Interest (APIs) on cyber security to protect the masses from the onslaught of cyber attacks.
