Tradelink is pleased to announce that our Executive Director and Chief Operations Officer, Mr Andrew Cheng, has been recognised for excellence in cybersecurity, receiving the Merit Award in the Transportation & Public Utilities Sector of the Cyber Security Professional Awards 2025 on 30 January 2026, organised by the Hong Kong Police Force (CSTCB) and co‑organised by the Digital Policy Office (GovCERT.HK) and the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKCERT).
This recognition highlights Andrew’s pivotal role in safeguarding Hong Kong’s digital infrastructure. As one of the awardees selected from eight designated professional sectors—including Banking & Finance, Telecommunication Services, and Transportation & Public Utilities—this honour serves as a testament to the robust security frameworks Tradelink embed within our Identity Management solutions. It ensures that mission-critical data remains protected against evolving global threats while contributing to the city’s overall cyber defence.
Strengthening Resilience Through Advanced Identity Management
Tradelink has long prioritised cybersecurity across our services, including:
- Digital Onboarding — a comprehensive suite recognised by regulatory authorities, featuring solutions such as iAM Smart Connect, eKYC for Hong Kong ID Card, Exit-Entry Permit for Travelling to and from Hong Kong and Macau (EEP), China ID Card, and ICAO standards e-Passports.
- Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) — Supports biometric authentication, device binding and digital certificates solutions with tailored implementations that maximise security while meeting regulatory requirements and industry needs.
- Deepfake detection — AI and deep learning capabilities that protect businesses across multimedia channels.
These measures have helped Tradelink reduce cyber risks, support fraud prevention and protect clients and the public, reflecting our sustained contribution to societal resilience against digital threats.
Andrew highlighted that “Cyber security is the invisible infrastructure of trust—when we safeguard systems, we empower communities, protect progress, and ensure innovation can thrive without fear.”
Moving forward, Tradelink will continue to build on these foundations, advancing our solutions and partnerships to foster a safer and more trustworthy digital environment for all.
