To enhance colleagues' awareness of information security and prevent social engineering attacks while safeguarding various government data, the Computer Center conducted a cybersecurity seminar on March 22, 2024 (Friday) at the computer classroom of our school's Information Center.
"Social Engineering Drill" lectured by Teaching Assistant Jia-Hung Huang. Mr. Chao-Hwa Liu, a consultant from ISMS counseling, was invited to speak on 'Trends in Cyber Threats and Protection Strategies'. Both physical sessions and Webex video conferencing were used simultaneously to conduct the seminar.
With the data cloudification, user mobilization, and the diversification of access devices, the traditional network model based on trust boundaries has encountered cybersecurity challenges. It cannot meet the demands of new work patterns. The Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) was formally issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2020, which has been adopted by various sectors.
Conclusions and recommendations from this seminar include:
1. Social engineering attacks remain common, and organizations should continuously enhance internal awareness to raise personnel's cybersecurity awareness.
2. Outsourced security management for information operations should be implemented by organizations and external vendors should be urged to comply with cybersecurity standards.
3. Enhancing vulnerability protection capabilities and implementing cybersecurity monitoring requires paying attention to vulnerabilities in information and communication equipment.
Ninety-eight faculty and staff participated in this event. Those who participated throughout the seminar and passed the assessment were granted lifelong learning hours for civil servants. After the seminar, online evaluations were conducted for the assessment, with scoring starting afterward. Participants who scored 70 points or above passed the assessment.
