TAIPEI (Taiwan News) \u2014 The National Institute of Cyber Security (NICS) signed a memorandum of understanding with Microsoft on Monday to strengthen Taiwan\u2019s cyber defenses and resilience.The ceremony was held by NICS President Lin Ying-dar (\u6797\u76c8\u9054) and Microsoft North Asia public affairs head Marcus Bartley Johns. Also attending were Ministry of Digital Affairs Deputy Minister Yang Chia-ling (\u694a\u4f73\u73b2) and other security officials, per\u00a0CNA.Lin said the partnership would bring frontline global threat intelligence networks into Taiwan while applying AI to improve threat hunting, anomaly detection, and system recovery and failover. He added that Microsoft would also assist in advancing zero trust architecture through readiness assessments, baseline setting across cloud and on-premises environments, and joint exercises, per\u00a0NICS.Johns described the memorandum as a milestone, saying cybersecurity requires cross-government and cross-organization collaboration, especially in the AI era, where opportunities and risks expand simultaneously. He said closer cooperation would enable faster identification of vulnerabilities and stronger defenses using AI tools, per\u00a0CNA.Johns said that Taiwan will work with Microsoft to integrate global security experience, AI defense tools, and threat intelligence networks. He said secure collaboration with government stakeholders would improve detection, response, and resilience, per\u00a0NICS.He added that intelligence integration is a core focus, noting Microsoft processes more than 100 trillion security signals daily while Taiwan\u2019s public sector holds critical national security data. The two sides plan to combine tools and expertise to fuse intelligence, and Microsoft is testing multi-model, multi-agent approaches to further enhance protection, per\u00a0CNA.Yang said Taiwan\u2019s role as a key hub in global technology supply chains makes cyber resilience essential to broader supply chain security. She said the ministry encourages partnerships with international firms to accelerate AI adoption in defense systems and raise national resilience, per\u00a0NICS.NICS said the collaboration aims to build a secure and trusted digital environment and anchor Taiwan\u2019s cybersecurity capacity in the AI era. The partners will expand long-term exchanges and practical exercises to align governance with international standards and reinforce a forward-looking national cyber defense framework, per the\u00a0Economic Daily News.Taiwan remains a major target for cyberattacks in the Asia-Pacific region. According to the\u00a0Microsoft Digital Defense Report 2025, Taiwan faced one of the greatest volumes of criminal cyber activity in the region, underscoring growing risks amplified by artificial intelligence, according to\u00a0Microsoft.
