The Cybersecurity Administration of the Ministry of Digital Affairs is holding a four-day "Industrial Cybersecurity Elite Class" from May 30-31 and June 6-7, inviting in-service security personnel from industries such as finance, software, smart manufacturing, and cybersecurity. The Administration stated that trainees can apply their practical experience to their daily work, helping to improve Taiwan's overall cybersecurity defense resilience.
The Administration noted that recent cloud threat outlook reports from cybersecurity vendors indicate that vulnerability attacks have become the primary source of cloud intrusions. This course focuses specifically on "cloud security" and "web application protection," using a red-team/blue-team approach to help trainees understand threats from an attacker's perspective and then introducing defensive practices to strengthen cloud security, assisting companies in building more comprehensive defense strategies.
The Administration stated that the elite practical training course has been held since 2021, with over 500 graduates to date, helping trainees master the professional practical skills needed for pre-incident protection and incident response against emerging threats.
The Administration further pointed out that this course references international cybersecurity talent training frameworks and conducts high-level hacker attack and defense training for security response engineers.
In terms of course design, the first two days guide trainees to deeply understand the characteristics of the overall security architecture from both offensive and defensive perspectives. The first day starts with "Red Team Attacks," analyzing penetration techniques such as reconnaissance in cloud environments, credential theft, and privilege escalation using IAM (Identity and Access Management) configuration weaknesses. The second day shifts to "Blue Team Defense," teaching trainees how to inventory leaked credentials, audit insecure configurations, and conduct incident investigations and establish monitoring mechanisms in real cloud environments.
The third day focuses on the latest version of OWASP Top 10 2025 web security vulnerabilities, allowing trainees to experience the evolution of web security attack patterns through extensive hands-on practice. The fourth day involves group competitions and practical problem-solving exercises to internalize the learned skills.
The Administration stated that the four-day course allows trainees to master comprehensive knowledge from the perspectives of attack, defense, practice, and competition, enabling them to cope with various cybersecurity risks accompanying rapid digital development.
According to surveys of past participants, trainees have not only improved their technical problem-solving abilities but some have also received promotions, showing that the training course not only helps strengthen corporate security defense capabilities but also serves as an important channel for cybersecurity professionals to enhance their professional skills and career development.
