Taiwan Ocean Research Institute, National Institutes of Applied Research. / Engineer and Division Director, Information Technology and Security

I hold degrees in both ocean-related disciplines and computer science. With extensive experience in developing information systems, as well as front-end and back-end programming, I specialize in data analysis derived from both on-site and oceanic instruments.

Currently, my work focuses on bridging marine research with information security across multiple domains. My team is dedicated to developing security policies, building a robust information security infrastructure, implementing automated defect prevention measures, ensuring adherence to legal security standards, and delivering cybersecurity awareness training to employees. Our primary goal is to protect sensitive and valuable marine data from potential threats.

Cybersecurity governance implementation concerns for ocean research institutions: A preliminary study and prospects for the future

Taiwan, as an island surrounded by the sea, many people here remain unfamiliar with the concepts of the 'ocean.' There seems to be confusion about how the marine-related tasks connect with IT, OT, AI, and cyber security.

Taiwan Ocean Research Institute (TORI) of NIAR (National Institutes of Applied Research) which belongs to NSTC (National Science and Technology Council), TORI is actively involved in the independent design and development of marine exploration equipment and innovative technologies to meet the research needs of government agencies, academia, and research institutions. At the same time, the institute operates the R/V Legend, the largest research vessel in Taiwan. The primary mission of the R/V Legend is to advance ocean science and technology.

In this presentation, I will share our experiences regarding Governance, Risk Management, Threats, Implementation Strategies, and Future Prospects in cybersecurity. Additionally, I will highlight how marine research, including the R/V Legend, can be integrated with information security across various domains. Our primary objective is to safeguard sensitive and valuable marine data from potential threats while continuing to deliver cybersecurity awareness training to our employees.
