Sangfor Technologies and Hong Kong Telecom (HKT) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), establishing a strategic partnership to address emerging cybersecurity challenges. In response to the proposed Critical Infrastructure Protection (Computer Systems) Bill, many enterprises have expressed concerns and questions, with some worried about their ability to meet regulatory requirements. Sangfor and HKT have affirmed that their top-tier cybersecurity expert teams will collaborate to deliver a suite of solutions designed to help clients achieve compliance with the proposed legislation.

Ringo Yiu, Regional General Manager (Mature Asia-Pacific Region) - Sangfor Technologies, stated, “This collaboration aims to provide enterprises with comprehensive solutions and foster cooperation with HKT to help businesses tackle the requirements of the proposed Bill.” Steve Ng, Managing Director of HKT Commercial Group, added, “We are committed to offering one-stop solutions to effectively safeguard critical infrastructure supporting essential services.”

Sangfor’s Six Key Solutions to Support Enterprise Compliance

Sangfor’s team of cybersecurity experts brings extensive knowledge and experience, offering a complete range of security solutions to help enterprises comply with the proposed legislation.

Its Cyber Guardian suite of services—including Managed Detection and Response (MDR), incident response, and security risk assessments—enhances enterprise cybersecurity.
