Taiwan is seeking to position itself as a global leader in cybersecurity as threats intensify in the age of generative artificial intelligence (AI), Presidential Office Deputy Secretary-General Mark Ho (\u4f55\u5fd7\u5049) said yesterday at the opening of the CYBERSEC conference at Hall 2 of the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center.Taiwan is working with industry partners such as SEMI and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) to promote global standards for semiconductor equipment security, Ho said in a speech at the annual event, one of the largest cybersecurity conferences in Asia.\u201cThis is the first international cybersecurity certification led by Taiwan and promoted globally, marking Taiwan\u2019s shift from a technology participant to a standard setter,\u201d Ho said on behalf of President William Lai (\u8cf4\u6e05\u5fb7), who returned to Taiwan earlier yesterday from Eswatini.<\/p>\n

\n Taiwan\u2019s cybersecurity industry is approaching NT$100 billion (US$3.16 billion) in output, Ho said, adding that cybersecurity has become a core national security issue as generative AI accelerates the pace and scale of cyberattacks.Taiwan\u2019s critical infrastructure faced up to 2.63 million intrusion attempts per day last year, more than double the level recorded three years earlier, he said. <\/p>\n

Advances in generative AI have increased the speed of cyberattacks, with some breaches occurring in as little as 27 seconds, he said.Ho did not say how many of the attacks were intercepted or stopped.Cybersecurity is central to Lai\u2019s key policy initiatives, including the \u201cFive Trusted Industry Sectors\u201d and \u201cTen AI Initiatives Promotion Plan,\u201d Ho said, adding that Taiwan aims to leverage its semiconductor capabilities to help shape international standards.This year\u2019s conference, themed \u201cResilient Future,\u201d highlights how cybersecurity has evolved from a focus on defense to ensuring operational resilience, with organizations expected to maintain services and recover quickly in the face of attacks, the event\u2019s organizers said in a statement.The US would continue to support Taiwan as it increases the security of critical infrastructure and semiconductor supply chains, American Institute in Taiwan Deputy Director Karin Lang told the event.The three-day event runs through tomorrow and is expected to draw more than 20,000 cybersecurity professionals and industry representatives from dozens of countries, the organizers said.<\/p>\n
