Ransomware integration and APT cyber-warrior tactics have evolved into targeted cyberattacks, becoming the biggest cyber weaponry to date! Numerous well-known corporations have suffered from such attacks. Notorious cyber criminal organizations not only encrypt corporate data for extortion, but also threaten to expose corporate data for even higher ransoms. Come and learn how to prevent this major type of threat, which will likely target corporations for the next few years.

Operational technology (OT) cybersecurity breaches are occurring with greater frequency, with ever increasing deadly impacts. For example, a water purification plant system was tempered by hackers recently, causing the addition of a large amount of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in the water, making it too dangerous for drinking. The security of OT systems has always been a major challenge. As a result, the OT Security Forum invites experts to explore OT security from various aspects.

Welcome to the 701 Vulnerability Research Lab. Provided by CYBERSEC for cybersecurity researchers, this stage is dedicated to the exploration of software vulnerabilities. They shall present vulnerability and malware discovered on the frontline of cyber warfare, explore the principles of software vulnerability, analyze the vulnerability exploitation mechanisms, and share the solutions in response to cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Employing an abundant level of foresight, experience, perspectives and vision into cybersecurity, leading international and local cybersecurity experts gather to offer an inspirational tour, introducing a different side of cybersecurity in practice.

Do you want to better understand the leading brands of cybersecurity protection? Just make sure you are here on the cybersecurity Brand Day!

The US-Taiwan AIT Day, launched by iThome in collaboration with the AIT Business Group, will debut at CYBERSEC for the first time, featuring the latest cybersecurity trends and foresight technology. It is also an innovative and excellent platform facilitating collaboration, interaction and exchange between the cybersecurity industries of Taiwan and the U.S.

In response to the latest trend of DevOps - a cloud-based development model featuring rapid launch and frequent updates – how to safeguard the security of such automated software development methods will become the internal requirement of every development team in the next few years. High quality software service is only possible with rapid launch paired with solid cybersecurity.

Following the launch of a new generation of high-speed 5G mobile networks, the highly anticipated innovative network applications and Internet of Everything (IoE) will gradually become reality. The operational flow of the world will further integrate with the Internet. As a result, 5G networks must shoulder the greater responsibility in terms of operational safety or resilience. 5G network security is not just an issue of telecommunication, but also a requirement of national security. Thus, 5G security issues must be explored as soon as possible.

Witness diverse applications of AI and machine-learning technology integrated into the cybersecurity field. Here, you can exchange information on methods to strengthen cybersecurity protection via machine-learning technology. Moreover, data scientists will share AI/ML applications in the intelligence analysis of cyber threats, as well as the first revelation of the password habits of the people in Taiwan through the use of big data analysis.
