In response to the rising tide of cyberattacks targeting Taiwan, cybersecurity firm Radware has partnered with CHT Security to enhance the country’s cyber resilience. The two companies have signed a managed security service provider (MSSP) agreement, further strengthening their collaboration to deliver AI-powered application security solutions.
CHT Security, a subsidiary of Chunghwa Telecom and one of Taiwan’s leading MSSPs, will integrate Radware’s Cloud Application Protection Services into its product portfolio. The partnership aims to provide a one-stop security solution, offering businesses across Taiwan advanced defenses against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. CHT Security also employs Radware’s on-premises DefensePro® DDoS Protection to safeguard its clients against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Rising Cyber Threats in Taiwan
The agreement comes at a critical time, as cyberattacks against Taiwan continue to escalate. A recent Radware threat advisory revealed that pro-Russian hacktivist groups—including NoName057(16), RipperSec, and the Cyber Army of Russia—have launched a wave of DDoS attacks targeting over 50 organizations, including government agencies, financial institutions, and airports.
Additionally, the rapid evolution of network technology and continuous software updates have widened security gaps, leaving businesses vulnerable to zero-day exploits, ransomware, and data breaches.
AI-Driven Defence Solutions
To combat these threats, Radware’s Cloud Application Protection Service employs AI-powered algorithms, behavioural-based detection, and automation to guard against over 150 known attack vectors. This includes threats outlined in the OWASP’s Top 10 Web Application Security Risks and API vulnerabilities. The solution also offers a comprehensive suite of security features, such as a web application firewall (WAF), bot detection, API protection, and application-layer DDoS mitigation.
CHT Security’s General Manager Jeff Hung emphasised the importance of the collaboration, stating, “By combining Radware’s cutting-edge technology with CHT Security’s extensive expertise and 24/7 security operations centre (SOC), we can provide organizations with multi-layered protection against the most advanced cyber threats.”
Expanding Cybersecurity Reach in Taiwan
CHT Security serves a diverse clientele, including government agencies, financial institutions, healthcare providers, and critical infrastructure sectors. With over 300 large enterprises, 40,000 small and medium-sized businesses, and more than one million individual customers under its protection, the company plays a crucial role in Taiwan’s cybersecurity landscape.
Radware’s Vice President of Sales for the Asia-Pacific region, Yaniv Hoffman, expressed enthusiasm for the expanded partnership: “With cyberattacks becoming more frequent and complex, security teams are under immense pressure. By joining forces with CHT Security, we aim to strengthen Taiwan’s cybersecurity posture and help businesses secure their critical assets more effectively.”
Industry Recognition
Radware’s expertise in cybersecurity continues to earn global recognition. Industry analysts from firms such as Forrester Research, Gartner, IDC, and KuppingerCole have acknowledged the company as a leader in application and network security.
As Taiwan faces growing cybersecurity challenges, the collaboration between Radware and CHT Security represents a strategic move toward a more resilient digital infrastructure, ensuring businesses can operate securely in an increasingly hostile threat environment.
