As one of the year’s premier technology events, HKCCF was a fantastic confluence of innovation and community. We were thrilled to engage in so many meaningful conversations about the future of secure and compliant technology in Hong Kong and beyond.

CASSolution has just returned from an energizing week at the Hong Kong Computer and Communication Festival (HKCCF) 2025, and we are filled with gratitude. A heartfelt thank you goes out to our incredible clients, partners, and the many visitors who stopped by our booth to explore the critical topics of digital trust and security.

Our experts were busy throughout the festival providing on-the-spot consultations. The discussions highlighted several pressing concerns for businesses and individuals alike:

Proactive Cybersecurity Strategies: Moving beyond basic protection, visitors sought advice on building comprehensive frameworks to defend against increasingly sophisticated threats targeting cloud and communication infrastructures.
Navigating Data Privacy Regulations: Understanding the intricacies of regulations like PDPO and GDPR remains a top priority. We provided clarity on achieving compliance that supports business growth rather than hindering it.
Responsible AI Integration: With AI becoming mainstream, questions about AI Governance, Risk Impact Assessment, and Compliance were frequent. We discussed practical steps for implementing AI ethically and safely, addressing concerns from data bias to operational transparency.

For us, the true value of HKCCF lies in the connections we make. Your questions, challenges, and insights are invaluable. They not only help us understand the market’s needs but also ensure our services continue to provide relevant and effective solutions.

We hope everyone who visited left with valuable insights and a clearer path toward strengthening their digital resilience.

What is Load Testing and Stress Testing?

marketing@cassolution.com — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 08:45:23 +0000

Introduction

Load testing simulates realistic user traffic to validate how systems perform under expected conditions. It answers critical questions like: Can our application handle 10,000 concurrent users during a product launch? By gradually increasing virtual users (e.g., ramping from 100 to 10,000 over 30 minutes), engineers measure response times, error rates, and resource consumption. This reveals bottlenecks before users experience slowdowns—such as a database struggling with high read volumes or APIs timing out under load.

Stress testing, conversely, deliberately pushes systems past their breaking points. Its goal isn’t stability but resilience. Engineers overload infrastructure (e.g., 200% beyond capacity) to force failures like server crashes, memory leaks, or data corruption. The focus shifts to recovery: Can the system self-heal? Does data remain consistent after a crash? For example, an e-commerce platform might simulate payment processing during server failures to ensure orders aren’t lost.

Testing Approach

Load Testing Workflow

Scenario Design: Replicate real user behavior. For a video streaming service, this might include:
- 60% of users browsing content
- 30% starting streams
- 10% updating payment details
Tool Configuration: Using Apache JMeter, engineers create “Thread Groups” to define virtual users and “HTTP Request” samplers to simulate actions. Ramp-up periods ensure traffic increases gradually.
Execution & Monitoring: As load scales, tools track:
- Response Time: Does the checkout page load within 2 seconds at peak?
- Throughput: How many transactions per second can the database handle?
- Error Rates: Are 5xx errors spiking at 5,000 users?
Optimization: Identify weak spots—like unoptimized SQL queries—and retest.

Stress Testing Workflow

Failure Injection: Tools like k6 or Gatling bombard systems with unnatural traffic (e.g., 50,000 users in 60 seconds). Chaos engineering tools (Chaos Monkey) may randomly terminate cloud servers.
Breaking Point Analysis: Engineers monitor:
- Resource Exhaustion: When does CPU hit 100%?
- Cascading Failures: Does a crashed auth service take down the entire app?
- Data Integrity: After a database crash, do user balances remain accurate?
Recovery Validation: Systems should auto-restart failed components or activate backup servers within minutes.

Common Tools for Load Testing and Stress Testing

When to Use Load Testing and Stress Testing

Load Testing Is Essential For:
- New feature launches (e.g., “Will our servers handle AI image generation requests?”)
- Infrastructure upgrades (validating if a new database cluster improves throughput)
- Marketing campaigns (preparing for Black Friday traffic spikes)

Stress Testing Uncovers:
- Hidden memory leaks after 12+ hours of sustained load
- Third-party API failures cascading to core services
- Data corruption during sudden power losses

Comply GL 20 Assessment By 2025!

marketing@cassolution.com — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 09:39:13 +0000

The revised GL20 guideline introduces several key changes compared to the previous version:

Cyber Resilience Assessment Framework (CRAF): The new version introduces the CRAF, which provides detailed guidelines on risk assessment and control principles to help insurers implement their cybersecurity frameworks effectively.
Assessment Requirements: The revised guideline requires insurers to complete three types of assessments:
- Inherent Risk Assessment (IRA)
- Maturity Assessment (MA)
- Threat Intelligence Based Attack Simulation (TIBAS) (applicable for insurers with high or medium inherent risk levels)
Documentation and Submission: Insurers must submit the results of these assessments, including justifications and remediation roadmaps, to the Insurance Authority within twelve months of the effective date. This means the assessments should be submitted before December 31, 2025.
External Consultants: Insurers with high or medium inherent risk levels are required to engage external consultants to perform the assessments
Scope of Assessment: The revised guideline expands the scope to include all systems, infrastructure (both on-premises and cloud), processes, and people supporting the insurers’ business in Hong Kong

Cyber Resilience Assessment Framework (CRAF)

The Cyber Resilience Assessment Framework (CRAF) introduced in the revised GL20 guideline by the Insurance Authority of Hong Kong includes three main assessments: Inherent Risk Assessment (IRA), Maturity Assessment (MA), and Threat Intelligence Based Attack Simulation (TIBAS). Here are the details:

1. Inherent Risk Assessment (IRA)

The IRA evaluates the inherent risk level of an insurer’s cybersecurity posture based on various indicators and assessment criteria. This assessment helps insurers understand their exposure to cyber threats and the potential impact on their operations. The IRA results in an overall inherent risk rating of low, medium, or high

2. Maturity Assessment (MA)

The MA assesses the maturity of an insurer’s cybersecurity controls and practices. It involves evaluating the insurer’s cybersecurity posture against a set of control principles outlined in the guideline. The assessment identifies gaps in the current cybersecurity framework and requires insurers to develop a remediation roadmap to address these gaps and improve their control maturity level

3. Threat Intelligence Based Attack Simulation (TIBAS)

TIBAS is required for insurers with medium or high inherent risk levels. This assessment involves simulating real-world cyberattacks based on threat intelligence relevant to the insurance industry. The simulation tests the insurer’s cybersecurity systems, processes, and personnel to evaluate their ability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents. For medium-risk insurers, the simulation must cover at least three attack scenarios, while high-risk insurers must cover five scenarios

CRAF Submission Protocol

Authorized insurers must submit the results of their assessments to the Insurance Authority (IA) within:

12 months for insurers with a high inherent risk rating.
18 months for insurers with a low or medium inherent risk rating.

Following the first submission, insurers should submit the results every three years. The submission should include:

Inherent Risk Assessment Results:
- Overall inherent risk rating and individual indicator ratings.
- Relevant documents and information supporting the ratings.
Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment Results:
- Overall cybersecurity maturity level and individual control principle levels.
- Identified gaps with an improvement/remedial plan, including action points and target completion dates.
Threat Intelligence Based Attack Simulation (TIBAS) Results (for medium or high inherent risk rating):
- Identified gaps from the TIBAS exercise with descriptions and risk ratings.
Additional Information:
- Any other information reasonably requested by the IA.

The results, including completed assessment templates prescribed by the IA, should be reviewed and signed off by the Chief Executive or Senior Executive of the insurer, as well as the Assessor(s) and/or Validator(s) responsible for conducting the assessments.
