Thanks Commissioner Wong (Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data), Eva Kwok (Cyber Risk Advisory Partner of Deloitte), Eric Chan (Chief Public Mission Officer of Cyberport Hong Kong) and Jason Lau (Chief Information Security Officer of Crypto.com) hief Information Security Officer of Crypto.com for their wonderful and insightful Thought Leadership sharing last night. The great turn out of over 100 people proves that "GDPR vs Blockchain" is a concern for many of us in the field. The panelists gave us lots of practical advice on Security/Privacy and Blockchain, and reference frameworks which we could apply in the real projects. Looking forward to the next HKBU FinTech Event.
