                   Simulating the perspective of attackers, researchers enabled businesses to identify potential issues before product launches, the cybersecurity institute said

Cybersecurity said it identified vulnerabilities in 20 Taiwan-made information and communications technology (ICT) products before their official launch. <\/p>\n<p>The National Institute of Cybersecurity, which executed the administration\u2019s initiative, said that it invited 179 cybersecurity researchers to test 20 products manufactured by 11 leading domestic ICT companies. <\/p>\n<p>Twenty valid cybersecurity loopholes were identified, including three that were rated as severe and six rated as high-risk, it said. <\/p>\n<p>Photo: Chiu Chiao-chen, Taipei Times<\/p>\n<p>As the EU\u2019s Cyber Resilience Act and other international regulations would soon be implemented, reinforcing cybersecurity of Taiwanese products and establishing trust in the nation\u2019s supply chain has become crucial, Administration for Cybersecurity Director-General Tsai Fu-lung (\u8521\u798f\u9686) told a news conference in Taipei. <\/p>\n<p>The initiative would run for the second time in September, making more ICT companies aware of the importance of cybersecurity, and allowing the government and the private sector to procure products from a safe environment, Tsai said. <\/p>\n<p>Among the vulnerabilities discovered during the initiative, some components used weak passwords, which could allow unauthorized access to files, the institute said. <\/p>\n<p>Other issues were caused by insufficient validation&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a
