Cisco to Form Cybersecurity Centre in Taiwan

Cisco, a leading US networking technology company, is set to establish a cybersecurity centre in Taiwan as part of its Taiwan Digital Acceleration Plan 3.0 as reported by Reuters.

This initiative aims to address the global shortage of cybersecurity experts through collaboration with the Taiwanese government and tech associations.

The centre will focus on enhancing threat intelligence and cyber readiness, particularly amidst Taiwan’s growing concerns about cyberattacks.

The digital acceleration program, with its open-ended nature, allows for continued investment in areas like transportation and sustainability, including initiatives at Kaohsiung Port.

Cisco’s recent announcement of a $1 billion fund to invest in AI startups further demonstrates its dedication to advancing AI capabilities for its customers. The fund has already begun investing in prominent AI companies like Mistral AI, Cohere, and Scale AI.
