📋 Tender Overview
Scope : To Establish Cybersecurity Centre in Taiwan
U.S. networking equipment maker Cisco would set up a cybersecurity centre in Taiwan and work with the government to train more people to work in the sector.
Democratically governed Taiwan, which Beijing views as its own territory, has repeatedly complained of cyberattacks coming from China, targeting government officials and departments as well as tech firms as part of a broader pressure campaign.
As part of what it calls its Taiwan Digital Acceleration Plan 3.0, it would focus on cybersecurity, planning to partner with the government to train people and address a broader global talent shortage.
In addition, Cisco aims to collaborate with relevant tech associations to establish a security centre in Taiwan for enhanced threat intelligence and cyber readiness.
It would "be doing a great deal of work around security" including the new "security innovation centre" in Taiwan, though he declined to provide investment figures.
