NSC to boost information security with new systemBy Yang Chun-hui and Kayleigh Madjar / Staff reporter, with staff writerThe National Security Council (NSC) is to bolster information security by strengthening its joint national-level security structure over the next year, establishing a data-driven proactive defense system, and securing the nation’s data channels and supply chains, NSC Secretary-General Wellington Koo (顧立雄) said yesterday. Fifth, the council would improve its “information and national security strategy 2.0” by implementing a proactive defense system to create a resilient and secure “smart nation,” Koo added. Information security is of paramount importance in nearly every segment of society, but it faces threats that increase by the day, Koo said. First, the NSC would focus on upgrading the national-level joint defense system and the team focused on information security, he said. Third, it would promote information security within industry, and support cybersecurity firms to enhance the nation’s independence and capabilities in the field, he added.
