Deep dives
Taiwan's Vulnerabilities and Cyber Threat Landscape
Taiwan faces significant vulnerabilities in its communication and energy infrastructures, primarily due to its reliance on undersea cables for internet access. Unlike Ukraine, which can leverage land borders to maintain some communication security, Taiwan's data pathways are more fragile and have been deliberately disrupted multiple times in recent years. Cyber attacks against Taiwan have intensified, with China's actions increasing in frequency and severity, targeting critical systems and government officials' email accounts to exfiltrate sensitive data. The situation underscores the urgent need for Taiwan to enhance its cyber defenses and resilience in anticipation of potential conflicts.
