(Central News Agency, Reporter Su Szu-yun, Taipei, May 23) The 2026 Financial Cybersecurity Exchange (FORCE 2026), hosted by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC), has concluded. The FSC stated that financial institutions must prepare early for emerging challenges such as post-quantum cryptographic migration and AI application security. The Ministry of Digital Affairs warned that the AI model Mythos can rapidly find new cybersecurity vulnerabilities, presenting a completely new challenge to industrial security defense and talent development; financial institutions should think about how to reshape their core cybersecurity competitiveness.
The FSC held FORCE 2026 from April 15 to 20, with a total of 162 financial institutions and over 800 participants. National Security Council Advisor Lee Yu-chieh and MODA Cybersecurity Administration Director-General Tsai Fu-lung were invited to provide encouragement.
FSC Vice Chairperson Chuang Hsiu-yuan stated that financial services are highly digitized, so cybersecurity is no longer just a technical issue. The FSC released the Financial Cybersecurity Resilience Development Blueprint at the end of 2025. This event brought together 18 financial institutions that have implemented blueprint measures to share their practical results. She reminded institutions to prepare early for PQC migration and AI application security, and to continue strengthening resilience through drills, backups, and business continuity planning.
Lee Yu-chieh emphasized that cybersecurity is the foundation of overall financial resilience. Financial institutions hold the public's assets and have a higher awareness of security controls, being more willing to invest in personnel, resources, and funding. They should continue to strengthen intelligence sharing and collaborative defense through the F-ISAC platform.
Tsai Fu-lung noted that while business competition exists between financial institutions, in the field of cybersecurity, only through "cooperation instead of competition" can a solid line of defense be built. He mentioned that the AI tool Mythos, which has recently drawn global attention for its ability to find vulnerabilities faster, has already presented new challenges. Financial institutions should jointly protect national financial resilience.
On the first day, the FSC held the "114 F-ISAC Member Intelligence Sharing Awards Ceremony," honoring 19 institutions for their contributions. On the third day, a meeting for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) from 142 institutions was held, followed by a cyberattack and defense drill camp on the final day.
Fubon Financial Holding and its subsidiaries received 6 accolades in the "114 Member Intelligence Sharing Performance," becoming the most awarded financial group. Taipei Fubon Bank received the Excellence Award; Fubon Life and Fubon Securities were awarded Special Honors; Fubon Financial, Fubon REIT, and Fubon General Insurance Broker received High Honors.
Fubon Financial Chairman Richard Tsai stated that Fubon has long worked with subsidiaries to participate in the F-ISAC mechanism, promoting timely cross-institutional sharing. In governance and practice, Fubon has led subsidiaries in building a collaborative defense architecture, conducting regular meetings to analyze trends and perform benchmark learning, thereby deepening internal and external defense capabilities.
