If you are bringing your office laptop or USB flash drive that contains unencrypted sensitive data to an external meeting and unfortunately they are lost or stolen, the data might fall into the wrong hands. This is in fact one of the most common causes for data breach. The predominant solution in the industry is to employ data encryption. The University has recently endorsed the deployment of an Endpoint Security Solution which provides encryption to all university-owned desktops and laptops used by both teaching and non-teaching staff. And since computers set up for casual use in classrooms, general labs and libraries will not handle personal data, encryption is not necessary. In phase one of the deployment, ITSC will facilitate encryption to (1) Desktops: USB drive encryption only; (2) Laptops: both full-disk and USB drive encryption. User instructions and briefing sessions will be offered in mid-July. Please stay tuned and refer to ITSC's announcement at http://epss.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk on 8 July 2014.

The prestigious award is bestowed on an eminent scholar every year to foster academic exchange between Hong Kong and the US. Professor Sung said, ‘I’m deeply honoured to be the Hong Kong Fulbright Distinguished Scholar for 2014, and I look forward to meeting our counterparts in the US to share my research experience. I believe it will help forge closer ties and enhance mutual understanding between the US and Hong Kong.’ Professor Sung will give a lecture series on ‘Plague, SARS and Influenza: What have we learned?’ later this year at a number of universities on the west coast of the US.
