Information Security Industry
2 Promotion Plan of the Industrial
Development Bureau

The Industrial Development Bureau under the Ministry of Economic Affairs
established the "Emerging Security Ecosystem Promotion Program," the "Plan
for the Building of an Information Security Industrial Environment and Promotion
of Standard Testing and Certification," the "Information Security Training and
International Promotion Program", and the "Pilot Project for Promotion of
Emerging IoT Cybersecurity Solutions" to take on important roles in promoting
the development of the information security industry in Taiwan. Firstly, the Bureau
intends to help enhance the information security protection momentum for the
industry and to boost awareness of and demand for information security in the
industry through the "demonstrations of application scenarios," particularly in
the fields of smart medicine and smart manufacturing, which are prioritized
in Taiwan. By working with domestic and international information security
companies that specialize in network protection, system security, data protection,
and information security consultancy, the Bureau has identified various potential
information security loopholes in applications, network products, IoT devices,
and cloud services. The government in Taiwan has opened certain parts of state-
run enterprises, such as the CPC, Taiwan Water Corporation, and TaiPower, for
operators to conduct information security tests and attack-defense drills for key
infrastructures. Secondly, in terms of the "development of information security
solutions," the Bureau uses information security test sites and information
security integration service platforms to incorporate the capabilities of the
information security community and white hat hackers (ethical hackers that
specialize in protecting information security) to conduct information security tests
and develop overall solutions. For operators, they can use the aforementioned
measures to accumulate test data to develop information security solutions for all
sectors.
