Experienced data scientists and cyber security specialists are of critical importance to the ICT development in Hong Kong.
The world is competing for talents equipped with new ICT-related skills, such as Internet and cyber security, big data analytics, virtualisation and cloud computing, networking/data communications, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and Fintech.
The availability of experienced data scientists is crucial to the smart city development of Hong Kong. Many enterprises also require experienced data scientists to make critical business decisions from huge datasets. On the other hand, as it is expected that many Internet of Things sensors/devices and 5G enabled applications demanding network security experts will be deployed over the years, we need experienced cyber security specialists to bolster the enterprises’ defences against cyber-attacks on their on-line platform, underlying legacy and big data systems.
