Cybersecurity center launched in Guangzhou

An emergency and response center for cybersecurity was launched on Tuesday in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, to offer security assistance for key information infrastructure, important information system units and high-tech enterprises.

The center, which will operate 24 hours a day, will also monitor cybersecurity risks and release early warnings of problems, according to the provincial public security department.

With the rapid development of the high-tech industry in recent years in Guangzhou, local companies have developed a need for greater security, according to public security authorities.

Also on Tuesday, a data alliance for digital risks, to include data from 40 cybersecurity companies, was established in Huangpu district of Guangzhou.
