This project is a continuation of our previous TACC initiatives led by the Cybersecurity Center at National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. Over a two-year period, it aims to translate research outcomes into practical applications and support the healthcare and financial sectors in addressing key challenges related to the implementation of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA): In the healthcare domain, the project will assist organizations in adopting secure practices during their transition to hybrid cloud environments. In the financial sector, it will leverage prior advancements in risk-based access control to help institutions address regulatory demands and enable dynamic access decisions under emerging access control models.

Moreover, the project will develop a comprehensive testbed designed to accommodate the diverse range of ZTA implementations, thereby facilitating the creation of certification standards by national regulatory bodies. This platform will also be used to evaluate the effectiveness and security of AI-based cybersecurity solutions. In addition, the project will deliver AI security testing tools that can be integrated into the AI-based application development lifecycle to embed security from the design phase onward. Leveraging its ISO 17025-compliant testing laboratory, the center will further develop safety standards for intelligent vehicle components to contribute to transportation safety.

Furthermore, to enhance the project’s visibility and impact, it will continue collaborating with internationally renowned research institutions and scholars, with the goal of publishing its findings in top-tier cybersecurity conferences and journals. The project will also pursue interdisciplinary collaboration with leading international experts in management to offer strategic insights for effective organizational cybersecurity adoption.

In summary, this project is expected to support the Taiwanese government in promoting the adoption of Zero Trust Architecture, strengthen the cybersecurity posture of national critical infrastructure, and foster the growth of the domestic cybersecurity industry.
