We have been attacked, probed and stressed for years, and that experience has pushed our cybersecurity sector to evolve rapidly,\u201d Yu said.<\/p>\n<p>He outlined how Taiwanese companies have since built strong, specialised capabilities from AI-driven threat detection to industrial-level systems that protect manufacturing plants, power grids and national operations. Firms like CyCrab, T5 Intelligence, T1 Networks and DefCore were highlighted as leaders providing tools and real-world solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Yu then shifted to the emerging threat landscape shaped by AI, explaining how artificial intelligence does not only power defences but also enables attackers to launch more complex campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>AI can scan websites for vulnerabilities, clone voices, generate realistic malware, disguise harmful files as legitimate documents and flood social media with coordinated misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>Yu cautioned that organisations must now prepare for simultaneous waves of attacks, ranging from operational disruptions to reputational sabotage.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6401\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6401\" style=\"width: 1036px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6401\" src=\"https:\/\/genesisekucalenimedia.com\/edn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PAGE-4-Taiwan-expert-Atlas-Yu-speaking-during-the-workshop-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1036\" height=\"587\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6401\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taiwan expert Atlas Yu speaking during the workshop.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He also issued a strong warning about supply chain vulnerabilities, particularly in hardware and communication systems sourced from countries with known risks.<\/p>\n<p>He referenced global research showing that more than 60 percent of Internet-of-Things chips are manufactured in environments where remote firmware updates could be manipulated for cyber infiltration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not only about computers. It includes vehicle chargers, routers, and power grid components, just anything connected to the system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Yu emphasised that attackers often remain hidden for years before executing a major disruption especially during politically sensitive periods such as elections.<\/p>\n<p>He cited the 2021 ransomware attack that shut down a major US oil pipeline, and findings that some electric vehicle chargers contained default passwords and insecure update settings.<\/p>\n<p>The session concluded with a call for stronger national policies on procurement, data standardisation and cybersecurity investment.<\/p>\n<p>Yu urged government ministries, media houses and the private sector to recognise that cyber threats today target not only information but also national stability, public trust and economic systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong><div class=\"_df_book df-lite\" id=\"6365\"  data-title=\"\" wpoptions=\"true\" thumbtype=\"\" ><\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCybersecurity is no longer an IT issue, it is a national resilience issue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Delegates attending Day 2 of the Countering Disinformation and Promoting Digital Transparency workshop received a sobering assessment of&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6401,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,22,24,25,26],"tags":[46,55,73,49,58],"class_list":["post-6395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","category-eswatini-daily-news","category-future","category-national","category-swaziland","tag-africa","tag-business","tag-eswatini","tag-human-interest","tag-national","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
