(Central News Agency, Reporter Zhao Min-ya, Taipei, 22nd) The Administration for Cyber Security (ACS) of the Ministry of Digital Affairs and the National Institute of Cyber Security (NICS) recently co-hosted a briefing on the Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT), attracting more than 35 leading manufacturers. ACS stated today that through three major strategies—releasing practical guidelines, introducing measurement mechanisms, and deepening on-site guidance—they are helping enterprises build product cybersecurity response capabilities, making cybersecurity defense a competitive advantage for entering the international supply chain.
ACS explained in a press release that a PSIRT is a dedicated team within an enterprise responsible for handling cybersecurity vulnerabilities in products. They are tasked with identifying, evaluating, and repairing vulnerabilities, as well as publicly announcing the progress and results of patches. For enterprises, a PSIRT is the foundation of brand trust. When researchers or customers report product vulnerabilities, having a reliable window to respond proactively helps the enterprise build a good reputation.
ACS pointed out that as the global supply chain becomes increasingly stringent regarding cybersecurity standards, establishing a PSIRT has become one of the essential thresholds for companies to enter the international market. For instance, the EU's "Cyber Resilience Act" sets clear requirements for product vulnerability management. Referencing international frameworks, NICS published the "Cybersecurity Incident Response Mechanism Manual for ICT Product Enterprises" in January to guide companies in step-by-step establishment of response mechanisms.
ACS stated that to strengthen corporate cybersecurity energy, ACS and NICS held a PSIRT briefing yesterday, attracting over 35 leading manufacturers. Through the PSIRT measurement mechanism, companies are assisted in using quantitative data to evaluate their vulnerability management maturity, thereby optimizing product safety. Additionally, NICS will launch a guidance mechanism specifically for the supply chain industry, providing on-site consultation services to help companies implement secure design goals and drive an overall cybersecurity upgrade of the industry.
ACS emphasized that strengthening industrial cybersecurity resilience is a key objective of the 7th National Cybersecurity Development Plan. In the future, they will continue to promote the industry's shift from passive defense to proactive risk management. Through guidelines, measurement mechanisms, and on-site guidance, they will assist enterprises in improving product vulnerability reporting and handling mechanisms, collaboratively strengthening Taiwan's product security defense line.
