LPS and QAX Announce Strategic Partnership for Cybersecurity, Unveiling Security Operation Centre and End-to-End Security Services
The duo's first joint Security Operation Centre (SOC) in Hong Kong addresses the urgent need for advanced cybersecurity defenses amidst surging cyber threats. The new SOC harnesses LPS' decades of managed services leadership and QAX's stellar cybersecurity track record to fortify enterprises with cyber threat protection. HONG KONG, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lenovo PCCW Solutions (LPS) announces the launch of the first Security Operation Centre (SOC) in collaboration with leading Chinese cybersecurity firm, Qi An Xin Technology Group (QAX), aiming to address a critical market need for end-to-end managed security operation services to combat increasingly complex cyber threats. Powered by QAX's advanced threat detection and prevention technologies, as well as its global threat intelligence capabilities, alongside LPS' industry leading managed services, the SOC is located in Hong Kong and offers 24/7 security operation services. The SOC will empower enterprises to embrace AI technologies while ensuring compliance and fortified protection. The Asia-Pacific region is a major hotspot for cyberattacks due to the rapid proliferation of digital technology, with the largest recorded data breach to date costing up to USD 20 million[1]. Hong Kong experienced a similarly alarming trend in 2025, as the Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre (HKCERT) reported a 67%[2] year-on-year increase in cybersecurity incidents during the first quarter alone. The city's regulatory framework has been growing in response, with standards like the Protection on Critical Infrastructures (Computer Systems) Bill, the Insurance Authority's revised Guideline on Cybersecurity (GL20), and the updated Government IT Security Guideline (G3) requiring organizations to strengthen cybersecurity defences, enhance employee awareness, and align with compliance frameworks to mitigate risks. The strategic partnership integrates advanced AI-powered threat detection with human expertise to deliver comprehensive cybersecurity protection for enterprises. Key features include offensive and defensive security services, along with a security dashboard that visually presents vulnerabilities, attacker behavior, and overall risk levels – enabling enterprises to better understand and manage their security risk. LPS' expertise in Hong Kong's IT ecosystem and unique cross-industry knowledge will be an invaluable asset for enterprises faced with the unique challenges of the dynamic cybersecurity landscape. 'With the accelerating pace of digital transformation and the rise of cyber threats, the demand for secure and resilient digital ecosystems is greater than ever before. Our SOC will address the critical need for advanced cybersecurity solutions.' said Dr. Ted Suen, President of LPS, further elaborating that, 'LPS is committed to collaborating with cybersecurity leaders like QAX to integrate advanced emerging technologies, actionable threat intelligence, and extensive industry expertise into our security offerings, empowering enterprises to navigate the digital age with safety and confidence.' Meanwhile, QAX boasts a proven track record of defending against high-profile cyberattacks – including at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics where they successfully achieved zero incidents. QAX's cybersecurity specialists also possess comprehensive capabilities for mitigating security risks in large language models (LLM), providing enterprises with enhanced protection through their proprietary LLM security solution. Qi Xiangdong, Chairman of QAX Group, said: 'Our partnership with LPS to launch the first SOC in Hong Kong reflects our shared dedication to protect clients' valuable assets and data. QAX will work together with partners, leveraging proprietary technologies and years of accumulated expertise in safeguarding national projects to advance the implementation of cybersecurity technologies, enhance localized operations and service capabilities, and provide enterprises with robust tools to navigate an increasingly complex and dynamic threat landscape.' The establishment of the SOC heralds a new era for cybersecurity in Hong Kong, offering a comprehensive, 24/7 shield against cyber threats. LPS will continue to enhance its security services as a trusted digital advisor and look to build on this milestone partnership with QAX to drive secure growth and digital transformation for clients across the Asia Pacific region.

Lethbridge Police Service Chief Shahin Mehdizadeh cleared of misconduct allegations
Article content Lethbridge's police chief was found not guilty Monday of two misconduct charges he faced over a lunch meeting he had with the service's chaplain more than four years ago. Article content Lethbridge Police Service Chief Shahin Mehdizadeh had been accused of two counts of misconduct, for violating a public health order by taking a member of the public out for lunch in March 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and for denying he had done anything wrong when confronted about it. Article content Article content Article content Article content They had soup during a 20- to 30-minute lunch, a regular thank-you gesture from Mehdizadeh for the volunteer's work with Lethbridge police. They were masked and appropriately distanced, said Lethbridge's police chief. Article content Mehdizadeh had believed the chaplain was part of his cohort, but during a meeting several days later with senior management, Lethbridge's police chief said he learned he was wrong and apologized to senior officers, including Woods. Article content Article content On Monday, presiding officer Brett Carlson concluded that, on a balance of probabilities, the allegations against Mehdizadeh were not proven and found him not guilty. Article content Carlson determined the LPS chief did not intend to breach the public health order, provided an apology and the conduct was not repeated. Article content 'There was no evidence of malicious intent or meaningful moral culpability,' he said. 'A moment of carelessness or error in judgment does not, by itself, constitute discreditable conduct requiring discipline.' Article content 'I find that a dispassionate, reasonable person, fully apprised of the circumstances would conclude that the Chief did not do anything prejudicial to discipline or likely to bring discredit on the reputation of the police service.'
