Taiwan sets up US-backed cyber unit to hunt hidden military threats

Taiwan's military is planning to create a new cyber threat-hunting unit with support from the United States, aiming to enhance its cybersecurity capabilities against potential Chinese military threats. The proposed 2027 budget allocates NT$95.93 million (approximately US$3.03 million) to establish this unit and bring in foreign experts for advanced training. The initiative focuses on proactive cyber threat hunting, shifting from reactive measures like firewalls to active network monitoring for hidden threats. Local media suggests the foreign instructors will primarily come from the U.S., offering training similar to the U.S. military's Cyber Flag exercises. This move aligns with broader U.S.-Taiwan military cooperation, which includes increased exchanges beyond just arms sales.
